Since parted comes with partprobe, which is really nice when you want to change the partition tables on a live box.

Feature requests are handled through bugzilla. -dev is most just a black hole for this sort of things. Thanks

Maybe some Gentoo/GNOME Gentoo/KDE Gentoo/otherDEorWM wallpapers/logos/icons? I have some Gentoo/KDE wallpapers and logos that could be used. Or do we prefer strictly Gentoo anniversary artwork?

Please link to your artwork, I like to see if any of it can be of good use and if you're a designer a 10 year anniversary theme would be ideal. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part

Here's the thing: artwork needs to be put at the *top* of that list. The artwork is the one thing that is *immediately* visible to users, and goes a very long way in setting up a positive look and feel for the distro. If required, I would suggest that we set a bounty using foundation money for artwork (bootsplash+gnome+kde). -- ~Nirbheek Chauhan GNOME Team, Gentoo

Starting in version 3.72, ISOLINUX supports a hybrid mode which can be booted from either CD-ROM or from a device which BIOS considers a hard disk or ZIP disk, e.g. a USB key or similar. In other words no more burning cd/dvds if you don't want. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
