I'm trying to do an install using the XFCE4 live image, however, parted is
not available.
According to the wiki (here:
https://github.com/voidlinux/documentation/wiki/Installer-Partitioning)
parted should be available for partitioning purposes.
I've tried using cfdisk, but I do not believe it plays well with gpt.
Is parted not being on the live versions intentional?

Hi,
this wiki page is obsolete. cfdisk from util-linux-2.25 supports GPT just
fine, so that there's no need
to depend on parted anymore.
Cheers

Hey. I'm having trouble with cfdisk and GPT.
I've tried a bunch of things, but I'm completely lost and I can't find any
answers elsewhere.
Firstly this is what my cfdisk looks like. http://i.imgur.com/WtAXxgv.png
(this is an example, I have the /boot/efi partition and the / partition
here when I actually try. That or whatever partition or type I add/change
to experiment)
I haven't seen a tutorial or example with their menu like this.
On the screen before entering the tool I've read this
http://i.imgur.com/9KdfoN9.png but how do I toggle that partition as
bootable?
Nothing happens when I press b and I don't even have a boot column like in
other examples.
When I do try it I get an error installing GRUB.

And when I use alt+F8 to check the error I see something like this.

Where I tend to focus in on "there is no BIOS boot partition"
I've tried setting the boot partition as "BIOS Boot" type and it "works" in
that the installation completes, but then when I try booting the VM I get
"GRUB _" frozen on the screen. Nothing happens.
May I please get some guidance here? I really want to test out and get used
to Void before installing it on my Thinkpad later. I'm quite an amateur so
sorry if I'm missing something obvious.

Try running cfdisk outside of the void-installer. This should allow you to
set the first partition to be bootable. If you're partitioning from inside
the installer I don't think it allows you to do that, so partition before
running the installer, then set the filesystem mount points.
This video is in french but should give you an idea of what I'm talking
about, cheers. Until I did this I was having the same error.
