About Parted Magic

The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Clonezilla, Partimage, TestDisk, Truecrypt, G4L, SuperGrubDisk, ddrescue, etc...) and an excellent set of documentation to benefit the user. An extensive collection of file system tools are also included, as Parted Magic supports the following: ext2, ext3, ext4, fat16, fat32, hfs, hfs+, jfs, linux-swap, ntfs, reiserfs, reiser4, and xfs.

Parted Magic requires at least a i586 processor and 256MB of RAM to operate or 128MB in "Live" mode.

This is mostly bug fix release for the 3.x series with a few new features. Some of the new updates include gparted-0.4.0, linux-2.6.27.7, xarchiver-0.5.1, dc3dd-6.12.2, and hdparm-9.2. Jason fixed the disk wiping program and some other issues were addressed as well. The newest and most powerful new feature is "installpkg" from Slackware. You can now add programs to Parted Magic by simply adding them to the pmodules directory and booting the machine. Parted Magic automatically installs them at boot. There are several tested *.tgz packages available in the forum for download. Make sure you change the tmpfs_size= boot parameter to allow more RAM for your additional packages.

As many of you know, the Parted Magic web site was hacked. The new site is up and mostly working. I would like to thank
Cassius Adams from http://sevenl.net for donating a very nice dedicated server for us to use.
Jiri Kanicky for setting up this new Parted Magic website based on Joomla!
Gert Hulselmans for spending a great deal of time helping me get the new server configured and organized.

If you use Parted Magic and it accomplished what you needed it to do, please donate $2. The only income this project receives is through donations.
