Ah, I just noticed that there is already a newt-based parted frontend (nparted), which will do for "dialog" mode. The standard parted should suffice for "readline" mode; I think it should be easy enough to put together something in Gtk for "gnome" mode, plus a shell script to multiplex the three of them based on $DEBIAN_FRONTEND, and we should be all set. p. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
