This is more a quibble than a bug, but often when I've had dual boot systems, I've kept a dos partition, so that I could persist something from linux and retrieve it on a ntfs win2000 box. Thumb drives and other usb drives are often dos formatted for the same reason. For that reason, I'd suggest adding at least the format program from mtools to the livecd --- imagine you just repartitioned one hard drive, and you have a few files you need to save on the other ... which is ext2 ... you were planning on putting them on the freshly partitioned one, but without format, you have to boot to nt, format the drive, boot to linux, copy the files. Or risk screwing up and losing the files before your emergance has reached mtools. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
We wren't adding more packages to the LiveCD that are not necessary for installation. If we were to take all of this into account, we would end up having to have all of samba on the LiveCD just so users could mount a SMB share (they still can, but it isn't as nice).
