Hi Gordon,
Because you asked.... ;)

The latest disk image includes cfdisk statically linked against uClibc.
Statically linked and stripped it weighs in at 131k. Once the file system
is gzipped, it doesn't take up too much space. I also moved the scripts
so that you don't mount your new root file system on top of them.

I thought a simple text editor would be nice to have as well. vi is
great, but not for everyone. It can be intimidating to a newbie, for
example. So, with that in mind, and the fact that I could now use 
ncurses support within the uClibc library, I included 'pico' (The pine 
mail editor)

I've tested both applications only minimally, but they appear to work as
expected. Since I've never used cfdisk, I took the fact that it loaded
and allowed me to create and write a partition table to mean that it
worked properly.

I still have 101K available for future requests! ;)

Enjoy!
