So the normal installation process on amiga (both m68k and apus) should be : * use an amigaos tool, or reuse the old partitioning. * if that does not work, use amiga-fdisk to repartition. amiga-fdisk should be called by the "Partition the harddisk" menu option, or also directly on a shell as amiga-fdisk or fdisk on amiga systems. * for the "View the partition table" menu option, libfdisk amiga partitioning support is used. Is this correct ? In case it is, are you aware that amiga-fdisk 0.04 needs libncurses and libreadline ? a fix is on the way to produce a libreadline free amiga-fdisk package for the boot floppies.
