cfdisk issue

hello, i'm trying to install arch and im having an issue.  When i have installed arch in the past(maybe a year ago) i had a lot more options in cfdisk.  had an option to make the partition bootable, swap was listed as a number like 22 or something. 

i opened cfdisk on my centos machine and its version 2.23.2 with the options i described, when i run "cfdisk -V" from the root@archiso prompt i get 2.27 which is higher.... Weird that there would be less options in the newer version.

if anyone can clarify this for me I'd appreciate it, thanks

Re: cfdisk issue

cfdisk is part of util-linux and they were busy updating (or even completely overhauling) their tools.
Just type 'h'.
