Worked fine when i did so on sunday. i am too busted right now by 11 + 7 hours of jet-lag to really follow up on this, ping me again this WE if i have not acted about this by then. > > > That's good.

Well, parted is frozen since forever, and the version in rc3 is the last one. I am not good at documentation stuff though, so ...
