[TriLUG] saving extended partition info

I would feel a lot more comfortable with something like

   fdisk -l > fdisk.out

Recovery is a little harder, because I'd have to type in some
numbers.  But copying raw bytes from the hard disk is just
not transparent enough for me.  I prefer a method where I can
use "vi" to view and edit the information in human-readable
format.
