I don't disagree. I don't believe I've ever used it myself, but it has in 
fact been removed from recent Red Hat distributions. I think you  
misunderstood the last message, it wasn't me who called it a 'pile of 
junk.' Here's the changelog blurb from the util-linux package.

junk than fdisk? :)

As I said, I'll look into it, I just don't have high hopes of it being 
small enough. Meanwhile, if someone want's to build the statically linked 
binary and pass it along, I'd be even more likely to look into it in the 
near future. I've been just a little busy with the boot disk myself. :)
