problem installing gparted

[(``-_-´´) -- Fernando]

Well, when I told you to use the CD, the idea was for you to get the
gparted deb without the need of downloading it.
You just need to either find the folder it was in before running dpkg
or set the CD to be a repository.

Never the less, great it worked out.
