Oh, that is what Richard did. Well, we can add a similar prep flag to libparted, no problem there. Still i had hopes that altough parted doesn't provide for it, libparted would export the set_system_type or something such function provided by the per partition table entries. Anyway, i will now go ahead and implement such a flag for now. Friendly, Sven Luther
