Is it supposed to?happen the same to me. ?
The secret is that fdisk is in /sbin and a normal user cannot see that so the script does nothing. You have to be root to use the script. Or use sudoers to make fdisk visible to normal users.
If I su myself I get:

Works nicer than cfdisk because you can see everything at once.
Calls for a dialog implementation so that it "looks nice".
Thanks Michelle, again, but I think he isn't watching right now.
