Description Graham Inggs 2015-06-01 19:29:47 UTC 
Dear gparted-live Developers

Please consider adding GNU ddrescue [1] and ddrescueview [2] to the livecd.
These tools are packaged in Debian as gddrescue [3] and ddrescueview [4].

Regards
Graham

Thanks for this suggestion.
It makes sense to have these tools in GParted live. I will add this in the next release.

Steven.
