Details

When installation must be done on an very large partition then only parted could be used to assemble those partitions (or setup a gpt label on disks).

Without parted one must use extern tools like gparted Live-CD to do partition.
If we had this package from extra available on install-CD then the "one who knows what he did" could use it during installation.
This task depends upon

Tobias: IIRC packages that are in install iso environment are not forced to be in Core, right?
Comment by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa) - Tuesday, 18 March 2008, 18:00 GMT
this is correct we include some other progs too which are not in core and i'll add parted there too.

Comment by Greg (dolby) - Wednesday, 19 March 2008, 17:36 GMT

Comment by Tobias Powalowski (tpowa) - Wednesday, 19 March 2008, 17:41 GMT
well parted is not a big program so it could be easily added,
we have then parted fdisk sfdisk cfdisk and all mkfs tools
