Good day,
Gparted is not available on my installation.
Which patition tool is available in centos 5.5 please.
Hi Johan.
It's available from rpmforge repository:
Installed Packages Name : gparted Arch : i386 Version : 0.4.8 Release : 4.el5.rf Size : 3.4 M Repo : installed Summary : Gnome Partition Editor URL : http://gparted.sourceforge.net/ License : GPLv2+ Description: GParted stands for Gnome Partition Editor and is a graphical frontend : to libparted. Among other features it supports creating, resizing, : moving and copying of partitions. Also several (optional) filesystem : tools provide support for filesystems not included in libparted. : These optional packages will be detected at runtime and don't require : a rebuild of GParted
As well as installing it from the above, I'd recommend getting the live CD from the Gparted website:
http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php
As this is handy for preparing your hard drive, before doing a fresh installation of Linux. Some things are not possible when using Gparted from a working Linux installation.
As the Gparted CD runs from memory, you can do anything you want to any partition using this.
Kind Regards,
