In response to my request for an FDISK-type program for MINIX, Jakob Schripsema and Michael Umansky have just posted programs of that type. Thanks a lot! The next question is whether either or both work. Needless to say, programs like this are pretty scary. A bug in your partition table and bye bye hard disk. This is thus a request to people who have access to a hard disk with nothing on it. Please try both programs on MINIX and see what happens. Give them a good going over, and try to find bugs, then post your findings. Andy Tanenbaum (ast@cs.vu.nl)
