cFdisk
I like the cFdisk tool.
It helped me to delete Linux partitions , because FDISK could not find any non-DOS partitions
I want to put it on a diskette or bootdisk. Where can I download it?

I like cfdisk too! QtParted may be sexier, but I 've seen
cases (specifically, stretching an extended partition) where
the humbler cfdisk was actually more capable.
Anyway, I don't know how to easily build a 1 or 2 floppies
minilinux with cfdisk. What's wrong with booting off the
CDrom? Then you've got a system with all possible drivers
and excellent HW detection. You know you can quickly boot to
text mode by saying "knoppix 2" at the boot prompt, don't you?

Or get something like the slackware root/boot 2 floppy set which has cfdisk.Toms root/boot floppy may have it.Cfdisk is provided by a package called util-linux on debian and theres also some other one called cfdisk-utf8

No I didn't know that , I just started the HD installation of Knoppix and deleted the Linux partitions with cFdisk. Well it works
When I boot in text mode , how do I start cFdisk? And how do I reboot / turn off the computer in text mode?

To start just type cfdisk to shutdown the system shutdown -h now for immediate shutdown shutdown -r now to re-boot all this as root of course.
