That's my point. You can't just download and run gparted to resize your root partition, you need to boot from somewhere else in order to do that.

- LoganDark 3y agoThat's true, it's not uncommon for me to install Linux by flashing the installer to a small partition on the same disk as the actual install destination. Quite useful for dual/triple-boot without actually requiring any USB flash drives.

- LoganDark 3y agoNo, no it's not.
