Hi, i have recently updated slitaz cooking to its latest packages and everything works great. The only problem i had was with Gparted 0.10.0 when i tried to resize my usb stick that has a fat32 filesystem, even though i have dosfstools and mtools installed. In the "filesystem support" option of gparted both "grow" and "shrink" features appear as not available for fat16 and fat32.
According to gparted's feature page http://gparted.sourceforge.net/features.php for these options to work it says "Native available through libparted (versions < 3.0). For example libparted-2.4." and i have now updated to 3.0 version with my latest upgrade.
Any help would be appreciated.

Gparted 0.10 and fat16/32

It reads versions under version 3.0, meaning they probably altered or removed this functions in newer versions of libparted (or parted as it's named in SliTaz)

Rollback to the previous version of gparted/parted:
Boot the cooking iso you installed from which has the previous versions.
#tazpkg repack parted
#tazpkg repack gparted
Save the repacked previous versions to disk.
Reboot into the installed system.
Force install previous versions from disk.
#tazpkg install parted-2.4.tazpkg --forced
#tazpkg install gparted-0.8.0.tazpkg --forced
Block them to prevent upgrade.
#tazpkg block parted
#tazpkg block gpartedPosted 13 years ago # -
