I had not thought of this, and will have to do some reconsidering here. I suppose I could offer to launch the Graphical Desktop, or use parted if the user chooses. It would be good if I could somehow make a tool to provide the same functionality, but that is too complex for ToriOS 2.0 maybe in 2.5/3.0 > > 2.
