Re: Thank you , parted !

[Rodrigo Luiz Beber]

Hi all,

Conectiva Linux (www.conectiva.com) version 
5.x uses parted for resize FAT partitions 
in his installer.

The version 6.0 that will be released soon will 
uses libparted for do all the job.

Both Grafical and Text modes of his installer 
(MI - Modular Installer) have libparted front-ends.

Thanks,

Rodrigo Luiz Beber
