"As every self-respecting distribution seems to have a solid partitioning tool, Morphix should have one too==== But in the mean time, lets just mess around and hack something together..." ====
This project is slowly taking shape, using gtk2 and libparted. It can be tested and shouldn't randomly delete or overwrite partitions, however you are advised to back up any data you are remotely attached to, just in case. Please use the default morphix bug and feature lists for reporting issues and wishes, discussing issues is most welcome via the development forum and mailinglist.

PM-specific ideas
- libgksu will be used for non-root users (done, thanks to whoever pointed it out)
- auto-partitioning/wizard (currently under construction)
- commandline/non-GUI partitioning? (lower on the priority list)
- LVM support
Discarded ideas
- Make it more GNOME HIGified
- Use yelp for help
Rationale: PM will not be GNOME specific. Patches and UI updates for the better will naturally be applied, however.
