amenditman Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 (edited) Patrick Verner and the wonderful developer folks that give us Parted Magic have just updated the distro. It is listed as primarily a bugfix release. If you use it like I do, as a LiveUSB, there's no reason to not update. If you haven't tried it yet, now's your chance.

burninbush Posted March 26, 2012 Share Posted March 26, 2012 Patrick Verner and the wonderful developer folks that give us Parted Magic have just updated the distro. It is listed as primarily a bugfix release. If you use it like I do, as a LiveUSB, there's no reason to not update. If you haven't tried it yet, now's your chance. Check out the announcement, download links, and website full of useful tools and help at, http://partedmagic.com/doku.php . There's a method I use for distros like this which get updated often; write it to a dvd+rw blank. That particular type needs no reformatting, you can just overwrite a previous burn. I use growisofs to do it here, making the initial burn as the first session of a multisession burn -- which means you can add files or subdirs to the disk without disturbing the original burn. Having an optical disk (cost = 75 cents) gives me that added bit of insurance that I can boot it on almost any pc that has an optical drive. #growisofs -Z /dev/sr0=pmagic-whatever.iso #growisofs -M /dev/sr0=some_filesystem First command writes the initial session, the 2nd command is for any later added sessions. Only takes a couple minutes for a distro the size of Pmagic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

V.T. Eric Layton Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 WOW! I just downloaded and burned a copy of this toolkit CD for the first time. It's awesome! I like it. I am definitely going to be installing this baby on a thumb drive. VERY handy to have around, for sure. Thanks, Bob! Your SPAM was worth reading and acting upon. Do I need to send you my bank account numbers so you can deposit that 2.5 million that you're trying to get out of your tyrannical government's control? Just let me know..
