Re: parted option - please report success
I have used a parted boot disk before with great success. I only
wished it had been directly on the debian disk, so i didnt have to
make a second boot disk.
i think it would be a great idea.
too bad it doesnt support NTFS, but it seems to handle FAT
flawlessly.
