I'm challenging someone to do it. (If Ian allows of course).

sometimes you need to use your minds right, Brian could easily google all of the commands and take away all the hard one and put the easy ones, so you would say he did good,so it's not even worth it.

so drop the idea

That thread mentioned QParted which is a drive partitioning tool for Linux only. Only a few live for cd releases of GParted are able to be used for creation, deletion, moving, resizing, copying even MS and other types of partitions besides VFat. But if you look around you can easily find tutorials on the differnent distros to review.

Why would I want to drop the idea on someone making a 101 on linux? I think alot of people would want it to try linux but they got no idea where to start and how to use it. It wouldn't harm anyone if we did have a 101 on linux.

you know why i said drop ? cause then you will need one for Mac, so don't say we don't need 101's for mac.
i remember the thread a while back kornowski asked for a seperate section for Graphics or so, he didn't get it, so basically it's a bit the same see

One thing that tells me is that you are not familiar with the live releases of GParted for cd. Why do you think some are labeled "platform independent"? hhmm...

The two releases seen in the capture can easily be used to create NTFS as well as FAt16/32 partitions as well as for other OSs along with Linux's VFat type. The live for cd version is 35mb in size and runs from the cd-r you boot from not in Windows, Linux, or any other while it is running.

If it messes up your drive you either downloaded the wrong release or simply weren't familiar with it. After partitioning a drive you still use the XP/Vista installer or now a separate option found on the Vista installation disk for formatting. For Vista and XP alike I used GParted here without one issue. It would be a shame for the free tool to get banned by MS labeling it as ...what?!

GGrrrr...!
