We have posted the i386.rpm, src.rpm, and patches on our WWW site at
http://www.affinity-systems.ab.ca/software/ for util-linux--rhcn-2.9r.  This
is built for upgrading to the Linux 2.2 series kernels and should work under
Red Hat 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, and 6.0 but were compiled under a relatively stock
Red Hat 5.2 system with Kernel 2.2.9.

Please note that under Red Hat 6.0, cfdisk does not work correctly in the
binary distribution due to a missing libslang.so.0.  You can install
util-linux-rhcn-2.9r using the --nodeps flag or get the SRPM and rebuilt it
locally.

Please send bug reports to bugs@affinity-systems.ab.ca
