Re: Suggestions for replacement of Parted Magic

@oiaohm,
I completely disagree with the reasoning you posted. I want to be able to use all the Linux-based tools we already have available, such as the extra modules, testdisk,... I think Porteus is one of the possible solutions for UBCD, *among others*.
You, from your own words, are concentrating on GParted, and you don't care about the rest. I am focused on the opposite direction.
Additionally, you are posting inaccurate information. You link to some "random" old topic with the words "Porteus" and "ntfs", and from that you (falsely) claim that the GParted application in Porteus doesn't support NTFS at all.
Now, let's ask ourselves; can I guarantee that every and all cases are correctly supported by Porteus? Of course I can't. But I *know* that Porteus 3.0 RC1 LXDE i486 (and the GParted application already included) supports NTFS.
Is there any chance that some feature or function might not be supported in Porteus "as-is"? Sure, but I won't be testing each and every one of them.
If I were to find that there is some situation that the GParted application that is already included in Porteus doesn't currently handle, I would report such problem and I would try the very latest updated official release of GParted Live. For such potential case, I would *not* need GParted Live *included with UBCD*; I would just download an updated original GParted Live.
You suggest adding to UBCD some customization of GParted Live; fine.
You are against adding others; fine. You are (falsely) claiming certain things while providing no real proof.
I don't want to write the same points yet again, so please please stop arguing personally with "me". Your arguments in favor of adding to UBCD some customization of GParted Live are already posted, and you are of course free to post more of them, or even a different suggestion altogether.
Regards,
Ady.
