fdisk for linux-sgi

[Edwin Hakkennes]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get an indy running Linux. I downloaded the Getting_started
stuff, and unpacked it. All seems to be fine, except that I cannot find
an fdisk program on this file-system. (root-be-0.01.cpio)

My question is: How do I partition the disk. I have one, empty 2G disk 
on which only Linux should be installed. 

Is it neccesary to put the disk in a PC for partioning?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Edwin

No.  You can use the software included under IRIX.  If the disk you are
connecting is not the bootdisk, means sash & the kernel don't reside on
it you can also partition the disk on a pc.  This may be handy for
data exchange.
