Did I hear you volunteer? :^) Oh, I am glad to be a volunteer. For my i686PC must in M$ Window for working, the available workbench is B2000. (My manager don't care the OS is HP-UX or Linux but only cares it work or not :-) Another question is: why not build FDISK/PALO/E2FScp for HP-UX? because all HP box with HP-UX's install/recover CD, so if has fdisk/palo/e2fscp program running on HP-UX, the work becames so simple that install Linux onto HP box.
