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.
Implemented. Try it.
It's enabled for strings based partition types (=GPT) only.
It works well for me. Thanks.
The only suggestion I have is that the prompt might be more informative
than just a colon. Perhaps something like "(space for more; q to quit):"
would be useful. I do see that up and down arrows/page work also.
That's not essential though.
