And scream at us when it does not work with for example NTFS correctly or some other file system gparted live support perfectly out box.
http://forum.porteus.org/viewtopic.php?f=73&t=1440 NTFS support out box is missing on on portus same with many of the other dependancies I mentioned to have a fully functional gparted.
This is the problem with Gparted yes it simple to have gparted its a lot hard to have a complete gparted install that can fully work.
Porteus out box only comes with the GUI of gparted and limited filesystem support. Fully function gparted with porteus will require pulling in third party parts. This is why I againsted porteus as a option its playing with fire. Huge fire when you are aware that gparted is very version picky in the tools it needs.
Yes you say lets not have to build a custom distrobution the Porteus path condems us to custom distrobution. gparted live customised is still just a customised debian so should be able to avoid building from source and used tested and vaildated binaries.
ady most of what porteus does to support modules is scripts. So there is a possiblity that how porteus does it extentions could be ported to debian. The thing here is porting porteus module system to debian would be a once off effort with option of sending final product upstream not on going headache causing end users repeating problems
ady as I have said my most critical worry is that the solution works properly.
I don't care
1) if nothing from parted magic can be used.
2) I don't care if windows users have to learn extra tools to customise. You don't need a Linux system to build custom debian discs. http://live-build.debian.net/ and the disc can make custom version of self.
In fact the idea of some special feature because the disc is on ubcd does not highly interest me. Extra features are not worth it if the core does not work.
If I could see Porteus is going to work gparted properly I would not be road blocking the way I am. Gparted live and any modifiction from Gparted live. Result will be properly working gparted.
Porteus is in fact putting too much work back on UBCD to be sane. gparted customised you said was a lot of work but that is less than what Porteus will cost.

In fact, Porteus already comes with GParted, so no user needs to install any additional dependencies, nor anything else for that matter, just to use GParted.
