It is graphical, simple and powerful. The license is the GPL (General Public License). <BR> Different skill levels will be available (newbie, advanced user, expert). <BR> It's written entirely in Perl and Perl/Gtk. It uses resize_fat which is a perl rewrite of the work of Andrew Clausen (libresize). <P> DiskDrake is a project from MandrakeSoft, the company behind the popular <a href="http://www.linux-mandrake.com">Linux-Mandrake</a> operating-system. <P> A <A href="http://www.eatel.net/~john/diskdrake/faq.html">FAQ</A> is in construction. <H2>II - What's available now</H2> DiskDrake should be usable now... it can: <UL> <LI> create partitions <LI> delete partitions <LI> change type of partition <LI> format partitions <LI> assign a mount point (<IMG SRC="/images/updated.gif" ALT="updated"><SMALL>(21/07/99)</SMALL> propose a list of classic mount points and verify the mount point is valid) <LI> mount partitions <LI> resize fat partitions <LI> resize partitions (when not caring loosing its data) <LI> clear partition table <LI> auto allocation (usefull for install) <LI> write fstab </UL> with nice contextual menu (shortcuts available, but dangerous as all actions are available, whereas with the contextual menu these actions are hidden. This will change) <P><IMG SRC="/images/updated.gif" ALT="updated"><SMALL>(25/07/99)</SMALL> A new Expert button appear now. It toggles between expert and normal mode. Some changes in information displayed: <UL> <LI> when you click (or focus) the drive tab (eg: hda), you get information about your drive: size, geometry (cylinders/sectors/heads number), type (eg: IBM DDRS-39130D), and bus/id. In normal mode you have only the size. <LI> the windows drive letter (eg: C: D: ...) <LI> the `start sector' information from normal mode, it still appears in expert mode <LI> the start&end cylinder of each partition is now displayed in expert mode <LI> the type is displayed numerically in expert mode </UL> <P><IMG SRC="/images/updated.gif" ALT="updated"><SMALL>(25/07/99)</SMALL> The mount point in the `Create' window and `Change type' window is now a combo box. It lets you choose between classical mount points (/ /usr /var ...) but with already allocated mount points removed. <H2>III - Actual developpment</H2> We need people!!! <UL> <LI><B>Tests</B> and remove bugs (no known yet :) <LI>integrate ext2resize (which has been release in version 1.0.0 <IMG SRC="/images/updated.gif" ALT="updated"><SMALL>(26/07/99)</SMALL>) <LI>add possibility to move partition without loosing data (by copying all data) <IMG SRC="/images/updated.gif" ALT="updated"> <LI>Improve the look <LI>Add a text-only version <LI>Help text, tutorial... <LI>Internationalization <LI>Add some features... <LI>Packaging (rpm, deb, slp...) </UL> <H2>IV- ScreenShot</H2> Warning: features was the main focus, so don't be too hard :) <P> <CENTER><IMG SRC="1.gif"></IMG></CENTER> <CENTER>DiskDrake main interface</CENTER> <BR> <CENTER><IMG SRC="3.gif"></IMG></CENTER> <CENTER>create dialog box</CENTER> <H2>V - Contacts</H2> A Mailing List has been created to allow developpers to discuss about DiskDrake.<BR> <P> Send a mail to: <A HREF="mailto:sympa@linux-mandrake.com">sympa@linux-mandrake.com</A> <BR>Put in the subject: subscribe diskdrake <BR>When you're subscribed, send your messages to: <A HREF="mailto:diskdrake@linux-mandrake.com">diskdrake@linux-mandrake.com</A> <P>Otherwise you can contact directly the <A HREF="mailto:pixel@linux-mandrake.com">project leader</A>. <H2>VI - Download</H2> Warning: You must have <a href="http://www.perl.com/CPAN/modules/by-module/Gtk/Gtk-Perl-0.5121.tar.gz">Gtk-Perl</a>.
