mac-fdisk for DEBIAN
----------------------

Comments regarding mac-fdisk

mac-fdisk provides Apple partition format utilities required for
installation of Debian/68k on Apple Macintosh computers. The Debian version
of mac-fdisk is derived from pdisk 0.4a2 (pdisk.970115.tar) by Eryk Vershen 
(eryk@apple.com).
pmac-fdisk is a version of the PC partition format utilities for PowerPC
computers, taken from the same pdisk source version and can be used for
installation of Debian/68k on PC partition format disks on Macintosh.

Modifications have been made to the pdisk partition table output code to permit
parsing the output of 'mac-fdisk -l' in a manner consistent with other Linux
fdisk utilities. (Christiaan Welvaart, <>)
