What is Suse's default partitioner?
Suse doesn't come prepackaged with GParted I notice. So what has this been substituted with?...

I don't run SUSE, but I'm going to guess that it uses cfdisk by default. Maybe someone will offer up a correction if it's needed.
Edit: oops, I just noticed you were referring to GUI partitioning tools. I'm not sure what they use for that.oz

I think Yast Partitioning Tool is front end of fdisk only. I couldn't fine much info. Here is a rules.xml file which AutoYast is using for Disk Partitioning.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Parted is the partitioning tool, and it on the opensuse DVD.
Gparted is a nice graphical GUI version with parted.
You can install it from the opensuse webpage.
Click "get software", and type "gparted" in the package search box.
Then 1-click install, and you have it.

lindsey... my recommendation would be to use the Parted Magic LiveCD for any partitioning chores that you want to do. Partitioning from a liveCD (or liveUSB) environment solves issues that you would experience trying to do partitioning under a system with mounted partitions.

I agree with ozar. One should LiveCD for Partition Management. PartedMagic and GParted are graphical interfaces of parted only. Both are really good but I prefer PartedMagic LiveCD because it has a lot of other essential tools.

Yep... I was thinking just yesterday that if there were only one liveCD allowed in the world of Linux for PC repairs and troubleshooting, I'd hope that it would be Parted Magic. I've tried all the other liveCD utility distros and while they are quite good, none measure up to Parted Magic, in my opinion.

Yes, that's true, I also advise Parted Magic always.
But I think gparted is too very secure.
Because I think that all changes are not done on the fly, but after a reboot.
And that gparted takes care of all mount and unmount procedures.
Nevertheless one should be always carefull, and know what one does.
Backup stuff and so forth.
