I agree with you: gparted, hidden in a menu, would Be the Best Choice  .

I think its not that important if the program is simple. The people  
who want to format a Partition of their hdd should get gparted cause  
with that they have all possibilities. And people who don't Know  
what they are doing shouldnt use the program, otherwise they would  
just do sth wrong and erase some data or so. But how to keep These  
users away from the program? We all know that a simple warning- sign  
would Be ignored. I think if the program looks complicated, many  
People just Close the window.
Of course this is not the best thing, but with gparted we would give  
the users who know what they do a great hddtool, and we could also  
keep the others from causing any damage on their data.

So what do you think?

Best regards,
Jo

Re: [Lubuntu-desktop] Adding HDD software to default programs

[Phill Whiteside]

It was mentioned on the IRC chat today,

I'm sorry but I've not got the minutes correctly onto the Wiki Page (I'm
awaiting instructions to make it work) - In the meantime, I've popped it
onto my 'baby' forum over here -->
http://forum.phillw.net/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=41

I will learn how to put it onto
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu/IRC%20Meetings  correctly, but it is all new
to me !!

Regards,

Phill.

I think Gparted is more for advanced users than "normal" user. Something
like gnome-disk-utility is more interesting IMO.

yeah, gparted would be great. and what about some ligtweight games ? Some
Snake- or minesweeper-clones. they would not take much place , but many of
the users we aim at will never install any software , so no matter how many
games there are in the repositoires, they wont play them. the classic
snake-game on facebook for example is only a 1,1 kb swf, and many users
would be happy about one or two games.

that's true. GParted is a must-have, and as PartitionMagicLiveCD works
on very old computers I belive it to be lightweight, despite being GUI
partition manager with more capabilities than even mainstream
commercial programs like PartitionMagic.

Hello everyone.

What do you think about adding some GUI software to Lubuntu? I'm telling about 
Pysdm or(and) Gparted. This programs were rery useful for me, when i was 
changing my OS to Linux. Pysdm has no additional dependences on freshly 
installed system, Gparted has couple of them, both are lightweight and powerful
