GParted does not create a menu item, but it should.

I installed GParted but it did not create any menu items anywhere - when it really should. Is this because it needs to be run with sudo? Otherwise I would suggest to the package maintainer to add that. Cheers!

this issue has been discussed a couple of times in the forum - basically no menu item/icon were provided to make sure the user really wants to repartition a drive with all the risk that entails.

While I understand, I do not think it is the right approach to hide. Make it executable by root only, add a warning, etc. But not to hide.

I think Tiny Core should be set up with passwords (it could be made optional for users who don't want it), so the user needs to enter the root password to run GParted.

I think this is the issue which needs to be addressed.

After this is done, GParted could be added to the menu.

If this was not done, children would wipe hard drives using GParted. Have you ever watched young children using computers?

Gparted also has a lot of warnings within itself.
