Woo..  Just re-read that..  it sounds a bit acidic, doesn't it..  sorry, and
no offence intended :)  Just trying to get across that dos' fdisk isn't
highly usable, useful, or good.  Whereas:  linux's fdisk does everything
it's supposed to, and probably much more.

dos' fdisk won't let you create more than one primary partition.

lol
