gparted

04, and I expanded the progress bar when it was about 3/4 done - it was at the 'remove unnecessary parts from installation' stage.

I was thinking that removing gparted was not a good idea, as it is useful for partitioning USB devices - not just the internal hds.

Does anyone else think that Ubuntu shouldn't remove gparted? Thanks

P.S Sorry if this is posted in the incorrect forum / place. This is my first post to Ubuntu forums.

Thanks.
