Currently mac-fdisk is default on Apple/IBM and parted is the default on |
| 22 |
Pegasos. I don't see any reason to use parted for all arches as |
| 23 |
parted-1.6.8-r1 which is on 2004.1 seems to support all required filesystems. |
| 24 |
It would also make it easier to maintain the handbook since we wouldn't need |
| 25 |
two separate sections, and there are some nice GUI:s for it as well. |
