abhinav f1b8958974 Fix spelling of simultaneous. 2017-01-27 10:12:05 +00:00
sevan ef7ad9dc67 - Document the HISTORY of fdisk based on the original post to comp.unix.bsd by 
Julian Elischer [1] and the Mach 2.5 Installation notes [2].
I was unable to pin point the exact version of Mach the fdisk utility appeared
as I didn't find documentation older than version 2.5 & no source code or repo
history. fdisk utility appears as a separate utility[3] in v2.5. Due to this,
I've avoided stating the exact version fdisk first appeared in Mach.
- Make correction pointed by textproc/igor
- Bump date

dyoung 6c02382b7e Add flag -F, options -t disktab and -T disktype to fdisk. Flag -F 
indicates that the target of the fdisk operation is a file, not a
disk. With -t and -T, the user tells fdisk the geometry for the
file If the default geometry that fdisk will "fake up" for a file
are not satisfactory, the user may tell the geometry to fdisk using
-t disktab -T disktype.
