I replaced "cfdisk $DISK" with "cfdisk | $DISK > /dev/tty". I'm not sure why this worked. can someone please test this? I'm currently to bussy in RL to test this. Maybe we must include these changes in the other scripts also? Thanks Thorsten -- Thorsten Sauter <tsauter@gmx.net> (Is there life after /sbin/halt -p?)
