DFSee, by the way, is among other things an alternative to fdisk, but much more versatile -- and it works with Linux, Windows, Mac (I think), and OS/2. You can look at its website, or ask e.g. Felix Miata (or anyone else who came from OS/2) about it.
i don't know about DFSee, but prefer to use a disk manager native to the system i'm trying to install. have had bad experience with partitions created by windows when installing linux for the first time.
Using a disk partitioner native to only the booted OS on a multiboot system is the best possible way to maximize opportunity for partition-related trouble. I use only DFSee for partitioning (even on single OS systems), which as Stan wrote, has native executables for DOS, Windows, Linux, OS/2 & Mac. I never have partitioning trouble not of my own making, because I never let any other partitioner touch my (very, very many) tables. http://www.dfsee.com/ http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dfsee-support/ DFSee does not yet support GPT. -- " A patriot without religion . . . is as great a paradox, as an honest man without the fear of God. . . . 2nd U.S. President, John Adams Team OS/2 ** Reg.
