Re: Added Links to Debian/Fedora

[Andrew Clausen]

Hi Mathieu,

I found this sentence confusing:

        As an alternative means to use Parted it is distributed with
        many distributions most on them probably give you a way to use
        it in "rescue" mode : (Some may include patch that are not part
        of the stable branch of parted)

Can I suggest:

        Alternatively, Parted is included in many GNU/Linux
        distributions.  Moreover, Parted is often available in "rescue
        mode" that can be accessed by booting from the installation CDs.
        Note that GNU/Linux distributors frequently apply patches that
        are not included with the official GNU Parted versions published
        here.

If you've got time, I have some other suggestions...
 * linking to programs that use libparted.  (i.e.: installers, gparted,
 qtparted, etc.)
 * linking to unapplied patches (eg HFS patch)
 * update the manual on the website to the one distributed with Parted.
 * CVS access should be last... not many users will be interested.

Thanks,
Andrew
