@dragonmouth,

I appreciate your input! You’re right – GParted offers instant visual feedback and error checking, which can make it safer and quicker for partitioning tasks.

While CLI tools are powerful, sometimes a graphical tool like GParted is more practical and user-friendly.

I know that the Tecmint crew likes to use CLI but, in this case, it would be much easier to and quicker use GParted.

1) fdisk has no error checking. You can wipe out a disk without realizing.
2) GParted gives instant visual feedback as it works.

Sure, it’s super kewl to use CLI but you will feel silly when you screw up the disk.

One can certainly hand write a letter but it is so much easier and faster to use a typewriter.

Thanks for documenting this – I’ve been using Linux for over 25 years, however, I was forced to retire 8 years ago, and stopped using Linux. I’m a prime example of the USE-IT-OR-LOSE-IT and have lost most of my knowledge, I’m trying to start using Linux again, just flipped bored out of my mind now, so I just wanted to let you know you’re a big help to me.

@Abhishek,

I don’t think you need to update Kernel table…
