[edit] Remove tedious details on about OS/2 partitioning?

Just as all the overwhelming HOW-TO details about the use of MS-DOS's FDISK (added by unknow user 69.177.103.53 on 14 JAN 2007) were removed by Admin. User:RexNL, I see no reason to keep all these details about OS/2 UNIX/Linux; which is arguably running on a very small percentage of computers today. Any comments before we revert back? to a short discussion of OS/2 partitioning?

As it turns out, the detailed notes mentioned above had nothing to do with OS/2 at all... they were for the UNIX/Linux 'fdisk' program; for which all the details can be found in a number of the external links cited here. Therefore the material has been removed, since it would be more appropriate for an e-BOOK on the subject, but not an article. Daniel B. Sedory 09:26, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Solution: UNIX fdisk examples in new article

Having recently read the article on Dd_(Unix), I propose placing a well-defined link under the section, UNIX, Linux and derived fdisks, to their own article: fdisk_(Unix). Unless someone has some deep concerns about this (and gets authorization to remove it), I'm going to create that new article very soon. I do not, however, know if doing so requires this present article to have a 'disambiguous' tag or not. Daniel B. Sedory 22:49, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Many broken links here!

Many of the external links here are 'dead' or malformed (see the very first link!), so any help fixing these would be appreciated. Daniel B. Sedory 09:29, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] FreeDOS FDISK

Can someone post an image of the FreeDOS FDISK to replace the copyrighted Microsoft screenshot? --Jtalledo (talk) 15:42, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
