The Parted Magic OS employs core programs of GParted and Parted to handle partitioning tasks with ease, while featuring other useful programs (e.g. Partition Image, TestDisk, fdisk, sfdisk, dd, and ddrescue) and an excellent set of documentation to benefit the user. An extensive collection of fileystem 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 PII processor and 400MB of RAM to operate or 128MB in "Live" mode.

• Bugs fixed: BUG in Low-RAM-Option PM v4.5. How to fix the font size?, msftres bug, Not booting on a Toshiba Stellite 1135, Problem when SSID is , Application "modules" not installing on bootup
• Removed: ndiswrapper, roxterm, clonezilla. There is nothing wrong with clonzilla. The bugs are always on our end and it's wasting people's time. Clonzilla Live always works better and that's what people should be using, so I merged the two projects together instead.
• Major new features: Added clamav-0.95.3. The definitions are not installed by default. Use the program "Panel Menu" --> "System Tools" --> "Download Clamav Definitions". The definitions are saved in /root/clamav instead of /var/lib/clamav, so Save Session works with these files. If you need the "clamd" running you can start it by simply adding "clamd" to the APPEND line in your boot loader. Added a program in "Panel Menu" --> "Internet" --> "Download Flash Player" for an obvious purpose.
