Yes, when i saw James proposal i tought about it, and i think that rewriting or modifing it to be a libparted frontend is the way to go beacuse the current src is a mess. It can also be used by Linux. If you want we can work on this. > as said about the util-linux package, it's very unportable and > a pain for us.

I've got all what is not really Linux specific to compile under the Hurd. And yes quite unportable, 100k of patch :P. I'm testing and polishing last details, but in few days it will be finished. regards guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
