The problem is, it doesn't leave much room for other stuff (such as partition names, and flag descriptions). Perhaps a better solution is to have the main print screen only do abbreviated output (i.e. display something like "2.5Gb"). If you want to see the exact start/end, you can do "print [partition-number]". > I've CC'd QA, because this situation is too common in Debian's package bug > listings.

Perhaps it should have been marked "closed" on the Debian bug system. In any case, I am very happy with the approach that Sven has taken to communicating and contributing to Parted :) Cheers, Andrew Clausen The GNU Parted maintainer (struggling under other time commitments) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
