Anaconda provides resizing facility, but not move. Also, I'm not sure

Hi Hedayat,
gparted should not be included because it's an advanced tool for
technical users, whereas Fedora Workstation needs to contain only tools
that are easy for everyone to use. Keep in mind that programs included
in the live image will also wind up on the installed system.

I actually don't insist on including gparted itself, but some of its
features. Having a second thought, I think it is actually better to
add such missing features to Anaconda itself, so it would benefit
installation media too. <br>
<br>
I didn't talk about GParted just because it is "useful". I talked
about it since sometimes it is "needed for successful installation".
Yes, if you already have installed any kind of GNU/Linux OS, you
would rarely need to resize/move any partitions. But I've seen this
being needed for many 'first time' installs. <br>
<br>
Well, as I said, I think missing features should be added to
Anaconda, rather than including gparted in live media. You might say
moving partitions is 'too much' for Anaconda, but IMHO resizing FAT
partitions isn't (unless you think that Anaconda should remove the
ability to shrink NTFS partitions too!). <br>
