that we try and have gparted and other filesystem/rescue tools on the live media.
Thoughts?

I use spins as back up rescue media. I'd just assume be able to use one of the standard spins (typically games or Gnome) as my rescue image and would like to have a fairly complete set of rescue tools available. So I like the idea of including a partitioning tool. I usually use fdisk myself, but I don't have a problem with gparted being the one we include.

fdisk only works for legacy DOS labeled disks - it won't work with newer GPT-style disklabels. So it makes sense to have something that would, and gparted fills the bill there. Not entirely sure what other tools would be useful, but I'm sure there are others.
Thoughts?

testdisk, extundelete, and the various filesystem utils would be helpfull I think, but they will take up a bit more space.
