Insights? Questions? Suggestions? I think it's a good idea. I'd say package it as a PR. Unless there's a tarball with just it - or just it and a bit more - bundling it up as a port is probably not worth the trouble. You might try contacting one of the people who have committed to fdisk recently to see if they are interested in importing the OpenBSD version. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
