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? Why not yank that tool out of Yast and replace it with GParted?
Whoa, wall of text to get to this... I think it is because most users partition exactly once, often taking the defaults. Gparted is mostly used for complex tasks such as growing/moving partitions, even though it can handle the mundane easily. Its probably not warranted for 90% of the users, and when you DO need it you are always always booting with a rescue CD anyway. The user experience with yast2 is not all that bad if you ask me. And getting Gparted to look and flow with the rest of Yast2 would be a lot of work for very little gain. I suspect there would be a lot of integration effort. -- _____________________________________ ---This space for rent--- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
