Today i hacked together a small fdisk style program that im calling
lfdisk (l for lame or lightweight).
I had previously tried to write such a program but got bogged down with
all the obsolete cylinder/heads/sectors translations. This time i just
completly ignored CHS, it does mean that partitions are created
"non-aligned", but i dont think thats really important for anything is
it ? It works
The only OS specific code in it is to re-read the partition table.
It compiles to 9KB, sfdisk is 45KB, so its probably best for most people
to use the proper version unless they are really in a pinch.
If anyone is interested in checking out what ive done let me know and
ill send them a copy.
