A moment ago I put util-linux-2.10g on ftp.cwi.nl and ftp.win.tue.nl . (Some other standard sites were not willing to cooperate today.)
The fdisk had some largish changes, tested by zero people, so don't put this into a distribution unless you test it.
It is rumoured that Windows 2000 does not accept partition tables that are not ordered according to disk order. (DOS / Win95 / Win98 have no problems, and neither has Linux) If this is true then fdisk must become somewhat stricter. The present version has an expert command f that does a sort. [But, let me repeat, nobody tried this. However, it compiles.]
If anyone happens to have a Windows 2000 system nearby, I would be interested in hearing about what it thinks about unsorted (or otherwise less usual) partition tables, both during an install and during normal operation.
