After running fdisk, type 'm' to see a list of all the options.= It should be straightforward. to format a partition: mkfs /dev/hd?? where ?? are the letter (as above) and the partition num= ber. I strongly recommend you read the man pages for fdisk and mkfs. I also don't think it's a good idea relying exclusively on kudzu to con= figure your box. Try to read the documentation and figuring things out so you = don't depend on something automatic that might (will) go wrong. If you need a= ny more help, please feel free to ask the list.
