I noticed on the 6.2 live cd (might have been dvd) that there
was a tool called "gnome-disk-utility". It flagged a
failing hard drive, which was much appreciated.
So I went looking for it on my native 6.5 to use it there too.
Yum says I have it installed.
I can't find it for my life.
How do I use this thing the way they did in the Live CD?
Yes it has quite funny name.
$ rpm -ql gnome-disk-utility|grep bin
/usr/bin/palimpsest
Hi Vladimir,
Just out of curiosity, I went look for what Palimpsest
meant. Maybe there was some meaning to those better
educated than me:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/palimpsest?s=t
noun
1. a parchment or the like from which writing has
been partially or completely erased to make
room for another text.
Beats the heck out of me. Maybe they though it was
a fun word. Or they thought they were being funny:
UNIX programmers do that on occasion. (I know I do
that occasionally: "Cowardly exiting -- bummer dude!")
