Re: How do I transfer files using the live cd?
I'm the (hapless shlub) about whom the above thread starter writes.
In answer to your question, no, I have used GPArted to partition and format the external drive. It is 20 gig and large enough for my /home.
GPArted does say the disk has no "disk label" and when I try to give it an msdos label, it "sort of works". More: Using the LiveCD to run GParted, from the terminal, calling gparted, loads first libparted and the gparted. In the terminal, libparted talks about not liking the disk label, but once the partitioning/formatting is completed, the disk shows (and I've done several) as 20 gig or 59 gig or the correct space available.
