I may add that the FDISK shipped with FreeDOS 1.3 breaks the partition
layout BY SIMPLY LAUNCHING IT if there are non-cylinder aligned
partitions, resulting in overlapping partitions and / or partitions
exceeding the size of the disk. No actions by the user are required
other than launching FDISK. In my opinion, this potential data loss
bugs alone would justify at least updated FreeDOS 1.3 images with an
error corrected FDISK.
