5 years ago	quake0	So install it on the live DVD.
5 years ago	MikeF90000	If I understand this proposal, I disagree. Gparted should always be run from a live CD/DVD in order to change any partition safely. If run from an HD installed O/S, one or more partitions will be locked or active.
5 years ago	quake0	Mint is slow to install high scoring ideas.
6 years ago	quake0	10 moths with high scores. Aprove this idea.
6 years ago	quake0	What does it take to get approved, Its been 8 months with high scores.
6 years ago	quake0	This is a no brainier that should be approved already.
6 years ago	quake0	Its time for this idea to be aproved.
6 years ago	quake0	whats the word?
6 years ago	quake0	So is this going to make it in Linux mint 14?
6 years ago	quake0	That's good to here.
6 years ago	quake0	Will this be approved yet? It has a very positive score for the last 2 month.
6 years ago	quake0	P.s. I don't even know who you are.
6 years ago	quake0	P.S.
6 years ago	kazztan0325	I hope @clem would become to place a special emphasis on this community website.
6 years ago	quake0	One aspect of Linux mint is that some things move slower then they should.
6 years ago	quake0	Can we get this idea considered at least.
6 years ago	quake0	Any news on this?
6 years ago	Mintification	I agree with quake0; I can't see any reason why gparted shouldn't be installed. It's a great program, and doesn't take up much space.
6 years ago	quake0	To the two people that voted against this. Can you give a reason why?
6 years ago	ElHaj	Gparted is also useful for USBs and external drives, and more user friendly then command line tools for partitioning. Promoting
6 years ago	quake0	Thank you Vincenty for that correction.
