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. Just like yast insist that a drive should be partitioned, while sometimes putting a filesystem on a unpartioned drive is good enough.. hw -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
