fdisk does allow you to specify the start cylinder, then something like
+1000M for the end of the partition. "M" meaning megabytes. It may
also accept "G" for gigabytes these days, but I'm not sure -- you'd have
to try it yourself.
I know I can specify the offset, but there's still the issue of having to
calculate numbers to get that 1st cylinder -- and I can't use it from a script.
It's interactive.
If you're always using partition #1, then shouldn't the calculations
always be the same, and thus pre-computable?
