Hi guys,
I browsed freshmeat a while because i need a partioning Software for the
Installation-procedure (not only fdisk i need a userfriendly interface).
I think there is no need to write a special programm for InceptionOS/Linux
because many good tools still exist. I will use the following tools:
GNU/Parted
----------
GNU Parted allows you to create, destroy, resize, and copy partitions.
Supported partition types include ext2, FAT (FAT16 and FAT32), and
Reiserfs filesystems and Linux swap devices. Supported disk labels include
MS-DOS and PC98 partition tables, Sun and BSD disk labels, Macintosh
partition maps, and raw access. Parted is useful for creating space for
new operating systems, reorganising disk usage, copying data between hard
disks, and disk imaging.
nParted (Interface to gparted)
-----------------------------
nParted is a graphical newt-based front-end to GNU parted, which allows
you to copy, move, and resize disk partitions using only your cursor keys.
There is no need to know the geometry of the disk. Think of it as
"Partition Magic on a console". Its small size makes it useful for
boot/rescue disks, and in fact, it is developed for the "La Espiral"
project's boot-floppies.
gpart
-----
Gpart is a tool which tries to guess the primary partition table of a
PC-type hard disk in case the primary partition table in sector 0 is
damaged, incorrect, or deleted. The guessed table can be written to a file
or device.
.oO(gpart can save lifes ;) )Oo.
libhardware and scanmodule
--------------------------
a GPL Library for hardware detection. i write a little c programm for
hardware detection and module config
as Bootmanager i prefer:
Grub and lilo for the two classicals and
Smart BootManager
-----------------
Smart BootManager is a tiny, powerful and multi-language boot manager
written in assembler. SBM supports many features in only 30K bytes
including multi-languages and themes, a user friendly menu system,
partition auto scan, boot schedule, password protection, and more. SBM is
the first GPLed boot manager to embed an IDE ATAPI CD-ROM driver, it can
boot Win95/98/2K, Linux, FreeBSD, OpenBSD, and BeOS from CD-ROM.
Multi-bootable image CDs are supported as w.
So.. after work i going straight into my geeklab ;) and start a caffinated
coding session :)

harddisk)Oo.
