Description Ryan Mesler 2003-02-28 15:11:47 UTC

i think adding parted to the livecd would be a touch. it would prevent users 
from having to utilize dangerous programs like partition magic or even paying 
for them. it would also eliminate the need for me to download knoppix for the 
sole purpose of using parted ;)

like cfdisk, i think it would make alot of lives easier. brief instructions on 
usage could be included in the installation documentation so that people could 
resize their windowsXP partitions on the fly.

thank you for your consideration in this matter,

ryan mesler
