It's worse than that. My script won't work either, this shell doesn't 
have the 'let' built-in. I'm searching at present, but it doesn't look 
like the shell has math functions.

One other minor problem Larry. You have to specify the disk to run 
fdisk on. Try your script on a machine with more than one drive.
