10 I've been told that both of them are on LiveCD anyway. So the issue is which
11 one do we explain in the Installation Guide. Let's look at it this way. Does
12 cfdisk miss any feature required for installtion? I don't think so. So it
13 would be much nicer to the user to explain him how to use cfdisk - an easy
14 tool. If, however, there is work he wonts to do with fdisk - fair enough
15 noone forbids it.
