I don't seem to have pdisk on my system (standard home/office YDL install) -
only fdisk. My impression was that pdisk was just the MacOS port of fdisk
that used to come with LinuxPPC. Was that just a typo, or is pdisk there for
me to find somewhere? (I have problems with fdisk expecting a DOS partition
map or something, so it would be nice to know.)
