5. A graphical partitioner is probably the biggest missing peice, I
didn't really test how the partitioner came through, just did a "wipe
entire disk" and it was still a pain.

AFAIK xavier oswald was trying to merge gparted nto the graphical d-i and making it run with GTKDFB, but i haven't had news from him from a week or two..

It will need gtk-dfb 2.8.x, since gparted is built using newer widgets not
found in 2.0.x


And udebs containing libstdc++, libsigc++, libglibmm and a version of libgtkmm built against libgtk-directfb. libglibmm the maintainer was ready to upload,
but it needs the two first ones first, and doko has not replied about
libstdc++ yet.

i hope libgtkmm/libglibmm are not so tied to X as was libvte, that i once wanted to use in the g-i to provide a terminal without the need to do VT switching.


I don't think so, libglibmm is pure text at least, and i believe libgtkmm to
be buildable against libgtk. After all, libgtkmm are just C++ bindings for
libgtk, but i may be wrong, we will see.


If we could compile libvte against libgtk+-directfb we could also include a VT into the g-i.


Yep. What where the problem with it ?

i now clearly remember i had not the time to recompile libvte against libgtk+-directfb, so i compiled a simple vte app against libgtk+-dfb 2.8.3 and and tried to run it using the standard libvte compiled for X. Of course i got a crash, but to tell exactly if it's possible integrating a VT into the GTK FE i should try to recompile libvte against gtk+-dfb.
