7 years ago Yes, util-linux contains many tools, but if you look at pkg/util-linux/gen.rc, you'll see we are only building fdisk. Many of the other tools are provided by ubase, and others aren't necessary. You are free to alter gen.rc to build any additional ones you want.
But I think removing the parentheses explaining that we only use fdisk from util-linux would be misleading.

fdisk is only small part, so it's better remove this string to not confuse people.
