     I can think of two things:


     - An editor for people uncomfortable with vi. emacs, or even 
emacs23-nox would be fine.


     - A partitionner more user-friendly than parted or fdisk: gparted 
if GUI is possible, or cfdisk, which has a simple curses interface. The 
drawback of cfdisk is that it doesn't know GPT partitions tables.


     Thanks.
