[New: openFATE 314746] Add Package gptfdisk to ALL openSUSE Installlation Disks
Feature added by: James McDaniel (jdmcdaniel3) Feature #314746, revision 1 Title: Add Package gptfdisk to ALL openSUSE Installlation Disks openSUSE Distribution: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Mandatory Requested by: James McDaniel (jdmcdaniel3) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: GPT Partitioned disks are becoming much more common and so the ability to deal with these disks in every way must be native to ALL openSUSE installation media. The gptfdisk package seems to fill that need and should be included by default. Please consider adding in the package gptfdisk to ALL new openSUSE 12.3 installation media. Thank You, Test Case: Try to create a dual boot between Windows 8 and openSUSE 12.2 on a pre-existing GPD partitioned disk (with secure boot disabled). You need the package gptfdisk utilities to make the right partition types. Use Case: The gptfdisk package allows you to manually create the right partition types on a GPT disk when the automatic installer fails to do so. It makes it possible to deal with and create dual booting GPT disks. Using the UEFI mode of openSUSE does work, but often you can not create the right partition types manually when it is required. Business case (Partner benefit): openSUSE.org: openSUSE musty be able to automatically or manually deal with all disk types such as GPT partition disks on a UEFI based PC. Add this package and we will have the right tools that we need. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/314746
