Like "Windows Weenie"? I guess you don't want to honestly debate issues
that have been raised in this thread.

By this definition you've been on the wrong path since you first started
trolling alt.os.linux.slackware.

Just so this post isn't completely useless, the old fdisk man page
suggested using the partitioning tools in this order: cfdisk, fdisk,
sfdisk, and suggests that the only reason to use fdisk before sfdisk is
that sfdisk's UI sucks (which is true), and otherwise it makes better
partition tables. More recent man pages suggest parted, fdisk, sfdisk,
presumably due to parted being the only common partitioner that supports
GPT.
