Help with parted

[Timothy Bedding]

Hello. I need some help with parted.

I want to use parted to resize a partition.

I would like to use an older version of parted to avoid any bugs
in more recent versions that have gone undetected.

Can someone confirm that it would be safe to use version
1.6.21 to do the resize (given the experience of
the parted team to date)?

Also, I need to create two disks in order to run parted
on a device normally in use by Linux.

I cannot find the img files. Should I build one
for parted 1.6.21? How do I create the boot disk?

Regards
Tim
