<snip above> Hi George,
I do not understand why we do not take a look at the old Partition Magic (not the new one that Symantec now owns). I understand there is a Partition Magic Open Source now but have to do some research on who is creating the new program for Linux. I remember reading some very good reviews on it as it is almost a clone of the original Partition Magic. That was one of the best partition programs ever made and I know lots of people who use it so why cannot we put this knowledge to use within SUSE. I know with some minor adjustments we can place it within the installation area. This was very easy to use, fast and since it is now in Open Source maybe we can use some of its ideas or further develop it to SUSE installation.
I am not sure Partition Magic(PM) ever went the Linux route. When I looked for a partitioning tool, when I still had Windows, and that would recognise ext2/3 partitions and write a partition table that both Windows and Linux could read. I found a product, which I believe SUSE were/are looking at called Partition Expert(PE). A very nice program, similar to PM and apparently its writing of partition tables is recognised by Linux 90-100% of the time whilst PM' partition tables are not always read by Linux.
