But I am talking about a "live" DVD with Ubuntu or a "live" CD with GParted...
Both are exhibiting this very annoying "feature" to blank out the screen after 5
minutes (I have timed it).
And I suppose there is nowhere to write a startup command for screensaver either
since all is on a DVD or CD ROM.

Especially on GParted Live it shopuld have bneen disabled since the GParted
operations are such a lengthy processes.

Seems so unneccessary and also too short timeout.

On my real systems I always switch this stupidity off completely.
