Disk Manager

#1 Post by davemx »

If, like me, you experiment on a computer with your hard drive partitioned for a number of root partitions with different linuxes, it would be really helpful if Disk Manager was installed on antiX as standard. Or am I missing an alternative app that's already there?

I'm just killing time and browsing the forums. I'm not on MX at the mo. so can't directly answer your question but I imagine most people just go ahead and install gparted - it's one of the first things I always do on a new installation of any Linux OS.

disk manager does different things from gparted.

Disk manager gives a GUI for the mounting of partitions and editing of fstab to automount selected partitions. An equivalent is gnome-disks.
Desktop: Intel i5-4460, 16GB RAM, Intel integrated graphics
