fdisk Terminal command problems - help appreciated
Hi, I've been trying to partition my flash drive for Damn Small Linux installation using the fdisk (v2.12r) commands, but I've been running into some problems.
Fdisk is replying with invalid command statements, although I believe they are valid commands, according to the installation guide. Here's what happens: Quote:

Is this because of the version or Feisty Fawn or what? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time. :) |
Um, try just specifying the /dev/hdc or whatever on the command line, and then it should enter interactive mode- THEN try the delete or whatever.

Look carefully at the man page for fdisk--you have to specify the device in any command that actually does something.
As rj says, do first "fdisk /dev/sdb", then use the interactive commands. Once you are in the command mode, type "m" for a list of all commands. |
Problem Solved
Actually I did that, sorry to not mention it. Even entered the partitions. I've recently solved the problem by using gparted to manage partitioning. Works great now :) Thanks for your help!
