Gnome partition manager not available in ubuntu 8.04

Asked by MaxH

Binary package hint: synaptic

When searching help for information on how to format a local drive, I found the instructions for using Gnome partiiton manager which was reportedly located under System > Administration > Gnome Partition Manager. This was not to be found nor was it located in the Add Applications or under the Synaptic Package Manager.

Simple install it...

Open a Terminal from the menu Applications->Accessories->Terminal and type:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install gparted

give your user password when requested, you don't see nothing when you type it, then press enter.

Hope this helps
