Subject: listing fdisk partition tyles
Date: Mon, 22 Aug 2016 22:03:25 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <57BBBCFD.9090502@gmail.com> (raw)

I have a request.  When I try to install Debian from an iso, I like to 
drop to the command line to run fdisk to partition the disk drive.  When 
selecting GPT, I have a problem with listing the partition types.

The screen is running at about 80x25 and I have no control over that.
The l command lists all the 81 types and there is no way to scroll back to 
see the first 55 entries in the list.

There is no problem when listing partition types when the partition table 
is the old MSDOS type,

I would like to request a pager, possibly as an option, for the partition 
type list when using a GPT partition table.

Thanks.
