How does KDE manage GPT disks?
From what I can see the partition manager does not have a GPT option.

Re: KDE GPT Partition Manager ?
The KDE partition manager sadly does not yet support GPT discs. I do think that is rather bonkers.
I use GParted instead.
The easy way to install that is to open a terminal and type:
You can also do that while running under the install disc too as long as you're connected to the Internet.

Re: KDE GPT Partition Manager ?
Really?!!! Thanks for the answer. I just could not believe it. I think it is bonkers also. GPT disks are SOOOO much more convenient, and work fine with most modern BIOS's. Obviously you do not need secure boot to use a GPT disk (regardless of what M$ want you to think.)
Re: KDE GPT Partition Manager ?
MS OSes can not boot GPT disks using legacy BIOSes, only under UEFI. The casual user can really get screwed over if they don't know what they are doing.pgmer6809 wrote:Really?!!!
