OK, real stupid question. I read how cfdisk works way different than fdisk. Problem is, I can't find it anywhere. Anyone know where I could download it?? I want to play with the partitions on my main HD without loosing everything, in the process. Thanks for any help.

It's in /cdrom/slackware/a/util-linux-*.tgz ...
If you didn't install it you may try that...

Or are you trying to run it as normal user? :)
It's not in your path, then, become root instead.



Cheers,

I download linux & tried to run it from a floppy. I looked through every linux package I have & can't find it. I don't have a CD yet. Will try to get one when the money is better.

did you try invoking it as root?

#cfdisk

Tried to run it from a floppy? Do you mean bare.i
boot disk? Use bare.i, install 1 and install 2 then
log on as root and run cfdisk.
