cfdisk is a slight bit non-intuitive at first.  When I started
partitioning this 40 GiB HD a couple of weeks back, I found fdisk had
some limitations (at least the version in Debian Testing).  I found
cfdisk more agile and after I left 14 GiB free at the back end of the
drive, fdisk can't see it and cfdisk does.

Ahhh, thanks for the memory jog.  I do recall that now.  Even so,
defrag of MS-DOS 6.22 looks very similar to the Symantec version.
