Where to download cfdisk

[satimis]

Hi folks,

I have been searching a while for "cfdisk" without success. I found it coming in a group package namely "util-linux" on "kernel.org" website, including "fdisk". However I already have "fdisk" running. Nor can I find it with "yum search cfdisk" (I have freshmeat repository).

Finally I found "cfdisk-glibc-0.8g-1.i386.rpm" on Internet. I'm not sure whether it is the right package.

Any advice. TIA

Hi Hayl,

Fedora Core 3

Tks for your advice.

I already have following "util-linux" download with "cfdisk" included;
util-linux-2.12q.tar.gz

It also includes "fdisk". It I untar it and run
./config
make
make install
make clean

then the running "fdisk" may be overwritten. Any influence on the OS?

I also have following package download including the requested dependencies package.
cfdisk-glibc-0.8g-1.i386.rpm
ncurses4-5.0-12.i386.rpm
linuxdc-tools-010313-3.i386.rpm/pxes-base-0.5-RC3.rpm

But I'm not sure whether it is the right package for "cfdisk" Any advice?

I use and love cfdisk, as it comes with Slackware. But since you need to download and install something anyway, you might give qtparted a try. Not only is it gui, which is nice, but it can also safely resize NTFS partitions!

What will be the difference between "qtparted" and "gparted"?

My guess is that gparted is for gtk/gnome and qtparted is for qt/kde.
