Well, let me put it this way, if you can build it with libc5, and make it as small as my rescuept binary, then I could. Try the 'rescuept' that is already included. It is _NOT_ as fancy as gpart, for one thing, it just prints out the guesses, and you have to manually fix the partition table yourself with fdisk. But, it gets the job done, usually. And, it is only 5457 bytes... -Tom
