sfdisk is a far more useful program to me personally -- anything that's
broken in it should be fixed. Anything that avoids interactivity is a
good thing for our purposes. The standard Linux fdisk is great, but
can't be scripted with anything but expect, and I doubt we could wedge
expect into busybox.

And second, good work Matt on the patch for #1003. I was going to cook
one up this morning. Some other bug will be mine to kill... ;-)

Third, I've been compiling busybox with 2.2.16 kernel source just fine.
I saw someone else was having some kind of problem. I wonder what the
differences between my environment and his could be?

Regards,

Mark
