I have replaced my old GParted Live DVD with Devuan live desktop to
partition/repair/copy (dd) disks or mount filesystems for
recovery/repair purposes.

I now install GParted from the live desktop when need be. Of course some
fdisk could also do the trick, but I like the preview/comfort from the
GUI. Handy to have a lightweight functional fully-fledged live GUI
environment thanks to Devuan :o)

All it takes is modifying the keyboard map, changing the APT sources and
installing a couple packages if/when needed.
