Details Responder

A couple of weeks ago I hacked the FDISK sources so a UI-less FDISK can be built: https://github.com/FDOS/fdisk/pull/37

This issue is about replacing the full-blown FDISK binary on the first installation diskette by the "LITE" version.

Such FDISK is 30% smaller than the UI version (50K vs 72K), hence it would take less space on the install floppies and would be less likely to fail because of out of memory conditions (esp. relevant when running while INSTALL.COM is running).
