So my question is this - Why, when there is a tool that is so much more capable, open sourced and freely available, is Yast2 sticking to using such a brain dead partitioning tool?
Actually, yast uses parted too. Gparted is just the user interface. Gparted presumably does not have a text-mode which YaST requires.
Um, that wasn't really very clear.
Gparted and YaST both use parted under the covers. Gparted adds a graphical user interface, YaST adds a graphical _and_ a text-mode interface. -----Original Message-----
So, as both yast and gparted are using parted underneath, it seems just that some options are missing in the yast-gui.
Yes, I guess that is possible. Personally I haven't missed any, but I don't use the yast-gui much.
Just like yast insist that a drive should be partitioned, while sometimes putting a filesystem on a unpartioned drive is good enough..
Funny, I ran into that just yesterday when I tried to use a whole drive for swap. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.2°C) http://www.dns24.ch/ - free DNS hosting, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
