Is there any graphical interface to partition and format hard drives in Fedora (KDE or Gnome interface)?

Thanks

since no-one has answered yet I don't know but independent cd's
knoppix or resccd have such a tool called
qtparted
get the cd info from distrowatch or a mirror.

2) Please remember there is a bug in FC2 if you are to dual boot to windows mentioned here

Not the answer you are looking for, but the command line tool fdisk is not really that hard to use. It is has an internal menu you can call up when you don't remember which option does what. Just "fdisk /dev/hda" sometime. Doing that much will do no harm. Then enter "m" for help, and you'll see the commands. "p" gives you the partition table. If you have free space, and want to create a new partition, "n" will start you going. It is really quite intuitive, as long as you know what you are doing (understand partitions). You can specify paritition sizes in megabytes.

Give it a shot.

I'm not a die-hard command line junkie. There are some linux gui tools that I like. But somethings really are easier, or just as easy, to do from the command line. This is one of them.

partimage is NOT a partitioning utility, but a partition imaging utility

qtparted (experimental, under development)
http://download.fedora.us/fedora/fed...RPMS.unstable/

The text user interface of parted does its job, too.
