Well, unfortunately, I am trying to sell "Debian" through "Knoppix"; not "Mandrake" :^).
I believe that he was giving you another option that would partition your disk using something other than FIPS.
Sure, but what I have in mind is trying to introduce Debian to the "You-Know-What" operating system users.
The first step would be just giving away Knoppix CDROMs. Then, if they say something like "this is great", there should be away for easily resizeing a FAT/NTFS file system.
Perhaps, I should wait until "qtpartd" reaches the
"testing" level. Currently, it is still "sid".
And, I am not sure if it is a good idea for using sid's "libc6" now.
regards,
Actually, the libc6 in SID just transferred into "testing" last week. This is a sign it is pretty close to being OK, if not there already.
I have been using the glibc from SID for quite some time without seeing any of the reported "problems". From what I have heard, the most significant problems recently has been getting a working version across all 11 CPU types supported.
I personally wouldn't let the new libc6 hold you back... especially if you are looking mainly at the i386 arch. It has worked for me just fine...
