I actually don't insist on including gparted itself, but some of its features. Having a second thought, I think it is actually better to add such missing features to Anaconda itself, so it would benefit installation media too.On Sat, 2014-08-09 at 02:33 +0430, Hedayat Vatankhah wrote:GParted provides a number of essential features users might need, some of which are not provided even by any command line tools in Fedora repositories: resizing and moving partitions/filesystems. And something like resizing FAT partitions is what I have not seen in any other tools in Fedora repositories except kde-partitionmanager. Anaconda provides resizing facility, but not move. Also, I'm not sure if Anaconda can resize FAT partitions.Hi Hedayat, gparted should not be included because it's an advanced tool for technical users, whereas Fedora Workstation needs to contain only tools that are easy for everyone to use. Keep in mind that programs included in the live image will also wind up on the installed system. Michael I didn't talk about GParted just because it is "useful". I talked about it since sometimes it is "needed for successful installation". Yes, if you already have installed any kind of GNU/Linux OS, you would rarely need to resize/move any partitions. But I've seen this being needed for many 'first time' installs. Well, as I said, I think missing features should be added to Anaconda, rather than including gparted in live media. You might say moving partitions is 'too much' for Anaconda, but IMHO resizing FAT partitions isn't (unless you think that Anaconda should remove the ability to shrink NTFS partitions too!).
