fdisk doesn't address most of today's new disks or GPTs.  Please remove it from the installer

All Fedora 17 installer / rescue images

fdisk is part of a larger package of tools and is very likely to be needed by some that don't need all of gdisk's functionality. I don't see any benefit in removing it.
Comment 2 joshua 2012-04-12 14:58:37 UTC 
Interesting.  I thought though that parted did everything that fdisk did... does it not?
Comment 3 Brian Lane 2012-04-12 16:42:57 UTC 
More. But I'm sure there are still people who expect fdisk to be available, either for rescue or for use in kickstarts.
Comment 4 Martin Gracik 2012-04-13 07:51:58 UTC 
I like fdisk.
