Right, and I don't intend to do so. I did want to run it for other hard 
drives, as well, for which gparted would be nice to run from command-line. 

However, I did find a live CD version of gparted on SourceForge. I would have 
looked there earlier, but for some reason I have connection problems when 
using the latest versions of Firefox. When I connect to SourceForge with 
Icecat, SourceForge always blocks me; but with Firefox I can spoof my IP and 
get in. However, then I have big problems with Firefox, like my system 
freezes up when I am in the middle of stuff, or just now, when I found these 
links on SourceForge, I got disconnected almost immediately. 

Like when your wife or girlfriend comes home drunk at 4 in the morning, "it's 
complicated"; and I don't know that I want the full explanation. 

Anyway, so I found an iso image of gparted to download, and I consider this to 
be the best of all possible solutions. 

Thanks for your patience. 

Bill
