I'm amazed now using the server install that I still cannot get a
command line during install.... I have to walk thru fdisk 1 primite
screen at a time.

Whats up with total avoidance of a simple command line?

There appears to be no way to get a darned command line and just use
fdisk like I've done so many linux distributions
