Bug#812358: debian-live: Please add gparted



Package: debian-live
Version: 8.2.0-amd64-xfce-desktop
Severity: wishlist

Hello

Please add "gparted" to the Debian Live CD.

Live CDs are greate to rescue broken systems or to shrink/enlarge
root file systems etc. In such cases the graphical approach of gparted
which automatically resizes the filesystem with the partition is much
more error safe than the CLI alternatives fdisk or parted. That's
especially the case for GPT and LVM which are still quite new to some
people.

The installed size of gparted and its dependency libparted-fs-resize0
would just be 7 MB.

Best Regards,

-christian-
