While working on the Live-Lubuntu-with-persistence problem, I
found that Gparted was present in the Raring Live CD but missing
from the Raring installation.
I have a Quantal machine running here also and noticed Gparted
missing from that installation, too.
Is this by design? It means that for some operations users either
have to master the command line equivalents or load the Live CD.
Hello John and everyone,
Being a long time user here, as far as I can really remember, GParted
got removed from the default applications of an installed system since
Ubuntu 10.04. When I asked years ago about that, someone on Ubuntu
Forum replied something similar to:
http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-1906718.html
So, since that time, as far as I know, Ubuntu and its official
variants do not include GParted by default after installation.
No bugs, nothing is wrong here.
Why it is on the Live Session?
Because, some users, me included, like to prepare their partitions
before installation.
Also, LiveCD/LiveUSB can be used as a resuce Disc as well so GParted
will come in handy :)
Thank you!

Thanks, Ali (and Pete re the Gparted Live CD).
Above all I wanted to make sure that it was not a case of it being OK
for certain limited operations during installation but buggy for general
purposes.
