gparted is missing in iso image for feisty

You can install gparted after install.
Just use synaptic and search for gparted

i did that - but is there a particular reason not to include it?
i found it useful ... (and there are other things that are automatically
installed and i find less useful. i accept that tastes are different).
if there are no particular reasons not to include gparted, i would leave
it in (not the least, because users are used to see it there)

thank you for the quick reply.

Oops, touched the wrong button.......

Not an xorg bug.

We took it out for space reasons, since the installer no longer uses it. It might make sense to put it back in for feisty, I suppose. Milestoning so that we consider it.

I also search for it for some time, since I this is a tool I could actually ask my father to use when updating or working with partitions. (A vote from me to include it - it's really useful!)
However, this comment is really about the fact that I couldn't do a "sudo apt-get install gparted" and then run the program (when running from the CD). apt-get installs gparted libcairomm-1.0-1 libglibmm-2.4-1c2a libgtkmm-2.4-1c2a but when I ran gparted, all I got was an empty window.
On my second run, I got the actual "Root privileges are required for running GParted". After that I ran it through sudo and it worked as usual.

Forgot to mention that when I got this blank window, Desktop Effects was enabled.

still missing in ubuntudaily-live-20070404

while ubuntu isn't a full rescue disk, having gparted goes a long way towards that.
I too would like to have the livecd usable as a non-ultimate rescue system, when no internet connection is available.

I too use the Live CD often to fix systems. For one, it has a good Ubuntu Xorg.conf to compare with. :) I would also like gparted on the live cd.
