Andrzej,

Your scripts have been added to CVS, but I did not do anything with
install-on-usb yet.

Thanks for the submission!

Best Regards

This is natural. And my idea isn't urgent in any sense.

I tried to compile GPT fdisk without icu library (which is relatively
large). 
Attached script I altered with changing Makefile using awk according to
authors instructions. All utilities are working near correct, but about one
issue I send message to the author.

I don't know exactly, for what Rod is using unicode ICU libraries. The only
place for text is comment name on GPT partitions, but for DL, I think, this
is absolutely unneeded. So maybe better is cancel the ICU to the time when
it will be necessary to do something else.

As for now, I'm booting (on BIOS machine) from GPT partitioned disk (using
Syslinux) and on this huge disk I have several partitions.

Journalists threatened for some time that all machines will soon UEFI. ;-)

Best regards
