Yeah, nparted was a bit of a mess, last time I checked... :(

Do you have a URL for that?  If it's easy to get running standalone, etc.,
it could be nice for general use :)

I can add ext3 mkfs support easily (just keep bugging me, it's about 1/2 an
hour's work to get it right ;)  Reiserfs is unlikely to happen for a long
time.

You can use external programs to make file systems, etc. with

        ped_device_{begin,end}_external_access()

Conectiva's and RH (7.2) 's installers do this, IIRC.

Anyway, translations should be sent to address@hidden  There is a bit of
a bureaucratic process, but basically: copyright stuff needs to
be sorted out, etc.  Also, a central database is kept of what has been
done, so ppl don't waste time duplicating work ;)

Did you assign copyright to the FSF?  Also, it looks like a dervied work
from Eliphas's pt_BR translations... I think it would be polite to mention
that ;)

address@hidden ?

Also, you should look for "fuzzy", and replace with better translations.

You want "Controlador ATARAID" ;)

Valeu!
