Hi Butch,
The installation disk uses cfdisk. You are free to use the alt-f2
combo to start a shell and use fdisk instead. I have to agree with you in

What "tool that debian uses " do you mean? The install package
uses cfdisk, which some people prefer to fdisk. Personally, I prefer
fdisk, but it is a matter of personal choice. If it is "cfdisk that
