Why would you want use Alpine for partitioning your disk when there are nice and small specialized distros like gparted livecd?

First of all, I don't want carry around a bunch of specialized iso images for each job, specially not nowdays when computers does not even have a CDROM player. Recreating your bootable USB each time is no fun. And the general livecd's (like fedora, ubuntu) takes long time to boot.

So a generic bootable Alpine USB with fast bootup and running fast from RAM only is nice.
