I have a question about (or a enhancement request) running fdisk.  When 
asking to list known partition types, I get about 70 lines of output. 
Generally that would not be a problem, but I was running in a Debian 
install/rescue iso that uses busybox in a 25 line terminal.  I do not 
have a way to scroll up and thus cannot see the first 40 or so partition 
types.

Is there a way to use a pager for this?  In this situation 'more' is 
available but 'less' is not.  Otherwise I think an automatic pause every 
20 lines or so would be appropriate to build into the partition type 
listing.
