Patrick Verner has announced the release of the latest version of GParted which is an excellent and easy to use Partition Manager that is small enough to fit on a mini CD. In short it allows you to create, resize, copy, destroy, and check the partitions and filesystems on a disk. He says "I added some goodies people have been asking for: partimage, grub, rsync, fdisk, cfdisk, and sfdisk. Links has also been included to view LarryT's docs while running the LiveCD and LiveUSB. Some other stuff was upgraded like adding a shutdown-menu and the entire layout of the root filesystem. All of the symbolic links and /fake/needwrite stuff is now gone. The entire rootfs is compressed with squashfs and the boot process has been vastly changed. This saved almost 5mb to add extras. The kernel was also updated to Linux-2.6.17.4.
