Disk Erasing PartedMagic comes with easy to use solutions for conventional overwrite. Internal Secure Erase. Wiping of only Free Space. Benchmarking All the benchmarking tools you would ever need! Bonnie++, IOzone, Hard Info, System Stability Tester, mprime, and stress.
This is mostly a bug-fix release. The only major improvement is support for ext4 in VisParted and Linux kernel 2.6.24.2."
From the changelog: "Updated to linux kernel 2.6.24.2, NTFS-3G 1.2216; VisParted now creates ext4 file systems; fixed PXE booting; fixed multi-boot CD problem; merged 'List Partition Tables' into VisParted; added Netcat and some other networking programs to Busybox; Added Squashfs LZMA kernel drivers; added all upstream changes from GParted CVS; removed the GTK+ H20 theme and replaced it with Clearlooks; fixed xxd and dd placement; fixed missing pmodules directory in the make USB program; fixed the desktop files getting deleted bug.
This is another update / bugfix in the 2.0 series. I dropped VisParted because strong development is coming from the GParted camp once again. Recent updated to PCManFM have made some new things possible on the desktop and improved the look and feel. All mountable partitions and CD-ROMs are fully supported from the desktop now, so it's never been easier to access files from Parted Magic. You will find most of the bad bugs and annoyances from 2.1 have been fixed. Downloads (~45,4 Mb)_http://partedmagic.co...pmagic-2.2.iso

Parted Magic 3.0
This new release of Parted Magic has the most aggressive changelog of any release to date. Almost everything has been updated and redesigned while doing our best to maintain the same user interface. The most significant changes are the additions of HAL and dbus, new Xorg server, basic wireless detection, FireFTP, udpcast, Linux-2.6.26, and many other updated and new programs. Parted Magic also has a new GRUB version of the iso and the USB version is GRUB-ready. People have been asking for a "Save Session" function and we added it.

Parted Magic 3.1 RC1
Parted Magic 3.1 is more of a new feature release than a bug-fix release. We added G4L and a graphical user interface for UDPcast. We switched from the Xfce desktop environment to LXDE and the artwork is also new. Major updates like X.Org 7.4, Linux kernel 2.6.27, Firefox 3.0.3, NTFS-3g 1.2918 and e2fsprogs 1.41.2 have also been added. Many bugs have been fixed and we hope we didn't add any new ones. Please test this release and report any problems in the forum. Downloads (~47,1 Mb)_http://partedmagic.co...ic-3.1.iso.zip

Parted Magic 3.1
Parted magic 3.1 released with only minor changes from RC1. One of the most important new developments is the HDD edition. This is a new concept in rescue and partitioning environments. It's basically a copy and paste USB distribution for system administrators and is the future of the Parted Magic project. Version 4.0 will be largely based on Slackware Linux and will offer package management and most things you would expect from a small rescue environment. My honest opinion is the death of CDs and DVDs is closer than most people think and the dominance of Flash media with read-write is the future of any system administrator's toolbox. This forum post describes the new HDD edition. Downloads (~47,2 Mb)_http://208.86.184.49/31/pmagic-3.1.iso.zip LiveUSB (~47,2 Mb)_http://208.86.184.49/31/pmagic-usb-3.1.zip

Parted Magic
Parted Magic 3.2. This is mostly a bug-fix release for the 3.x series with a few new features. Some of the new updates include GParted 0.4.0, Linux kernel 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 Linux. 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. Downloads (~47,5 Mb)_http://downloads.part...ic-3.2.iso.zip

Parted Magic 3.3
This release of Parted Magic offers better support for video drivers and adds NFS. gFTP was also added and a few other core packages have been upgraded. The contents of the USB version have been altered to clean things up a bit. All GRUB files are in /boot/grub and all syslinux files are in /boot/syslinux. You will need to alter your syslinux command syntax or move the configuration file back to the root of the USB drive." From the changelog: "Downgraded to xorg-server to version 1.4.2; added DHCP 3.0.7; added gFTP 2.0.19; updated NTFS-3G to version 1.5130, udev to version 135, GParted to version 0.4.1, BusyBox to version 1.13.1; added Portmap 6.0 and nfs-utils 1.1.2.

Parted Magic 3.4
Fixed: Segfault when using "Save Details" in GParted. LC_ALL was not being set by default, GParted crashes when no locale is defined.
Fixed: udev rules are updated for wireless devices so they should work again. udhcpc from busybox worked better for our wireless script, so udhcpc is being used agian for wireless dhcp.
Parted Magic 3.6. This release offers a major overhaul in the way Parted Magic boots and behaves. The 'Live' option is back and Parted Magic runs on a machine with 128 MB of RAM. There is also a 'low memory' option that disables unnecessary daemons to speed up systems that only require trivial tasks, like running GParted. The 'Live' option was tested on a PII with 128 MB of RAM. There is a new way to mount devices too, mount-gtk creates a consistent interface to mount file systems found in fstab created by the pmagic_fstab_daemon. Last but not least, the updated package list: GParted 0.4.3, Linux kernel 2.6.28.5, e2fsprogs 1.41.4, NTFS-3G 2009.2.1. Downloads

Parted Magic 3.7
This is a bug-fix release for the 3.x series of Parted Magic. The package installer had a scripting error that wouldn't allow more than one package to be installed. Added /mnt/local so G4L works. Jason added some fixes and features to the wipe and mount scripts. The code for booting ISOs directly using GRUB4DOS was merged back in after the last round of major changes. The code for forcing devices at boot with uuid= and label= was also merged back in. The "unnamed window" problem fixed in Conky. Web links in GTK+ applications about dialogs launch now. Added Xfce files so help in Screenshooter works. List of updated packages: Linux kernel 2.6.28.7, Coreutils 7.1, Firefox 3.0.6, FireFTP 1.0.4.

Parted Magic 4.0
Parted Magic 4.0. A new release with some exciting new features! Parted Magic now has full support for partitioning Device Mapper RAID partitions. The initrd was completely trashed and Parted Magic now boots from an initramfs. The new initramfs is only about 500 kB and all drivers needed to boot the media are built directly into the kernel. The 'Low RAM' option was changed to boot Xvesa, TWM, and GParted at 800x600x4; it now runs very well on a computer with 64 MB of RAM. You can now 'save session' with the CD version (CD-RW required). The PXE version can merge initramfs for module installation. We also have new artwork in a clean blue theme that matches the look of the new website.

Parted Magic 4.1
This version of Parted Magic fixes some bugs and adds some new features and programs. There was a scripting error that cause DEB packages not to load in some situations, mkfstab was moved later in the booting process to stop the new fstab from being overwritten by the one from the 'Save Session' package, and 'partimag' user was added by default for PartImage. The fstab daemon now detects device mapper RAID partitions while removing the unmountable mirrors from /etc/fstab. GParted and mount-gtk correctly display and mount these partitions. Added support for new package extensions .tbz, tlz, txz. Numlock is set to 'on' in and outside of X by default. Downloads (~88,4 Mb)_http://downloads.sour...ic-4.1.iso.zip

Parted Magic 4.5
This new version of Parted Magic updates the graphical server X.Org, expands networking, improves RAM usage, and fixes some bugs. To combat some of the problems associated with the newer versions of X.Org and Intel chipsets, Parted Magic offers driver versions intel-2.4.1, intel-2.5.1, intel-2.6.3, intel-2.7.1 as boot options. There is a new PPPoE option added to the 'Start Network' program. RAM usage has been significantly reduced for the 'Default settings (Runs from RAM)' and 'Live with low RAM settings' boot options. The default option only requires 192 MB, from 256 MB in version 4.4, to completely run Parted Magic from RAM. The biggest gain was with the low RAM option because that now only requires 48 MB to run.

Parted Magic 4.6 RC 1
What's New in version 4.6 RC1:
Many fixes and changes for Netbooks. Parted Magic Save Session uses xz instead of 7-zip. Clamav was added, but you have to download the definitions yourself. There is an entry in the panel's application launcher to automate the download. The definitions are downloaded to /root/clamav, so they will be saved in root.xz when you use Save Session. Flash Player can be downloaded and installed from the panel's application launcher. epdfview was added so people can read hardware manuals that normally come in pdf format. A simple program to change the keyboard layout was added to the desktop. Roxterm was replaced by an svn version of LXTerminal. Clonezilla was removed from the main Parted Magic image because it's not possible to make a rescue ISO without downloading a template. I kept getting complaints about this like a broken record. Now we offer Parted Magic - Clonezilla instead, which is far more reliable. The syslinux menus were redone to add more options and break things down into sub-menus. The boot menu is far less intimidating now. Device Mapper RAID and Linux Software RAID have been moved to RAID options for automatic assembly at boot time. Device mapper is no longer automatically started at boot. Super Grub Disk 1 & 2 are both included now from the syslinux "Extras" sub-menu. is no longer on by default.
В новой версии проведена работа по улучшению поддержи нетбуков, добавлена программа для переключения раскладки клавиатуры, в комплект включены антивирусный пакет Clamav и программа для чтения PDF epdfview, вместо терминала Roxterm теперь используется LXTerminal, из состава дистрибутива удалена утилита Clonezilla.

06/25/12: Updated boost_1_49_0, cifs-utils-5.5. Continued to rework panel menu by adding Multimedia and rearranging a few more desktop files. Rewrote /usr/bin/pmagic_check_libs from scratch. 06/24/12: Updated xdg-user-dirs-0.13, xdg-utils-1.1.0_rc1. Xdg day! Removed the help button from the panel and added it to the panel menu. Rearranged some of the menu entries because they were in the wrong category. Added Erase Disk and Clonezilla to the desktop. A lot of people seem to have trouble finding them in the panel menu. 06/23/12: Updated conky-1.9.0. Added libmcs-0.7.2, libmowgli-0.7.1. Reverted back to module init tools. For some reason kmod isn't blacklisting modules and hangs the system when depmod is executed while /lib/modules is a union. I'm sure these issues are my fault, but I need some time to sort it out. Kmod is NOT a drop in replacement for module-init-tools. 06/22/12: Updated xz-5.0.4. Fixed problem when the NVIDIA packages are installed on a non NVIDIA system. Added option to put squashfs.ko in initrd.img/lib if your custom kernel has squashfs built as a module. Parted Magic's kernel modules are in a squashfs, so that puts the cart in front of the horse. The kernel document also states this now. 06/21/12: Updated psmisc-22.18, clamav-0.97.5, ethtool-3.4.1. This one was a pain in the butt. I spent a good part of the day building the nVidia drivers. The source was adapted from some stuff I found on slackbuilds.org. I'll post the updated kernel drivers every time the kernel is updated. The drivers are located here: _http://beefdrapes.par...ackages/extra/ . Just put these packages in pmagic/pmodules and use the “Kill Nouveau” option in the failsafe menu. There is also a new option in the Extras boot menu. You can start Nwipe at boot without starting X. There is also an option to reboot when Nwipe is closed. 06/20/12: Updated spacefm-0.7.8, udevil-0.2.8. You can now cancel the download while downloading the clamav definition files. 06/19/12: Updated gzip-1.5, linux-3.4.3. Added instructions for building the kernel to the source tree. Includes getting the modules into the initramfs. 06/18/12: Updated ddrescue-1.16, pixman-0.26.0, xorg-server-1.12.2, firefox-13.0.1. 06/15/12: Updated freetype-2.4.10. Switched to daily changelog. More like a journal. Updated programs: xrandr-1.3.5, bluez-4.91, fsarchiver-0.6.15, linux-3.4.2, e2fsprogs-1.42.4, sed-4.2.1, libdrm-2.4.35, xf86-video-nouveau-git_20120614_36d3f8c Added programs: arpwatch-2.1a15, sallu-xclamscan-1.1.1, arandr-0.1.6, samba-3.5.14, pm-utils-1.4.1

/04/12: Updated grep-2.13, mount-gtk-1.2.1. Happy 4th! 07/03/12: Updated linux-3.4.4. Added “setterm -blank 0 -powersave off -powerdown 0 &” to /root/.xinitrc. New Fail Safe boot option “Load NVIDIA”. This loads the nvidia kernel module and blacklists nouveau. You can do the same thing by adding “blacklist=nouveau nvidia=yes” to any boot loader's append line. You need the NVIDIA packages found on partedmagic.com to load the nvidia kernel module. 07/02/12: Added “Erase MBR” option to “Erase Disk”. Upped kernel command line parameter from vmalloc=256MiB to vmalloc=288MiB. Added “xset dpms 0 0 0 &” to /root/.xinitrc 07/01/12: Updated udevil-0.2.9. All mount and umount issues resolved. /etc/mtab moved back to a text file. 06/29/12: Updated lshw-B.02.16, partclone-0.2.49. Removed module-init-tools. Added kmod-9. Symbolic link /etc/mtab to /proc/mounts fixed the double unmount issue in GParted. SpaceFM desktop icon opens /root instead of /. 06/28/12: Fixed issue with dfs using cifs. Added nbd-3.0 (network block device) client and server. 06/27/12: Updated clonezilla-1.2.12-67. Most of the panel menu items now have more generic names and fixed missing space in “Desktop Settings”.

Parted Magic 2013_08_01 Thu Aug 1 03:29:21 UTC 2013 util-linux/util-linux-2.23.2-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Upgraded. +------+ Wed Jul 31 21:39:17 UTC 2013 New pmagic_timezone program replaces timeconfig. The timezones are automatically configured for de_DE, fr_FR, it_IT, nb_NO, pl_PL, ja_JP, and zh_TW. These countries have single timezones, so guessing is fairly accurate. Maybe… +------+ Wed Jul 31 15:39:28 UTC 2013 f2fs-tools/f2fs-tools-20130730-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Upgraded. linux/linux-3.10.4: Upgraded. testdisk/testdisk-6.14-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Upgraded. Enabled experimental qphotorec program. Do not use this on production systems yet. xf86-video-nouveau/xf86-video-nouveau-1.0.9-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Upgraded. Fixed missing curly bracket in EFI grub menu. The failsafe menu works now. +------+ Tue Jul 30 01:31:24 UTC 2013 New syslinux F5.txt entry: timeconfig=no The timeconfig program is ran when the desktop starts now. A dummy file /root/.config/timeconfig stops it from running more than once and while using save session. An option to sync with the internet was added to the end of the timeconfig script. +------+ Mon Jul 29 17:40:27 UTC 2013 dconf/dconf-0.16.1-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Added. mesa/mesa-9.1.5-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Upgraded. x/xf86-video-intel/xf86-video-intel-2.21.13-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Upgraded. boot/syslinux/F5.txt: rdate=no is now rdate=yes, so it's not ran by default. +------+ Sun Jul 28 18:47:16 UTC 2013 linux/linux-3.10.3: Upgraded. Added new command line options: rdate=no and monday=1 These are added to a new syslinux F5 menu for date and time. The names of the F options were renamed from message.txt to more logical names like F1.txt. +------+ Sat Jul 27 20:24:18 UTC 2013 clonezilla/clonezilla-3.5.1-noarch-2_pmagic.txz: Rebuilt. Patched to dynamically create and remove /MD5SUMS so people will quit reporting this file as a bug. dmraid/dmraid-1.0.0.rc16-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Rebuilt. Remove libselinux dependency. multipath-tools/multipath-tools-0.4.9+git0.4dfdaf2b-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Rebuilt. Remove libselinux dependency. tcplay/tcplay-0.11-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Rebuilt. Remove libselinux dependency. Removed libselinux. Fixed nonfunctioning numlock=on parameter. Removed /.gphoto directory created in the wrong folder by the fstab daemon. Removed /selinux folder. +------+ Thu Jul 25 14:28:33 UTC 2013 The module blacklists weren't working well with user custom kernels, so everything in /etc/modprobe.d was deleted and everything in /lib/modprobe.d/scsi-sata-controllers.conf is commented out. Parted Magic loads all modules in the initramfs, so it doesn't make much sense to have controllers blacklisted. +------+ Thu Jul 25 02:09:36 UTC 2013 emelfm2/emelfm2-0.8.1-i486-1_pmagic.txz: Added. Added warning about power outages to Secure Erase program.

You will no longer need the PXE version to do this.
1) Extract the iso image and copy the pmagic folder to your server.
2) Use the new wget= kernel cheat code and the path leading to the pmagic folder. So, if the pmagic folder is in the root of your public_html folder you can use these examples. Of coarse you can place the pmagic folder where you want.

Parted Magic no longer uses AUFS. The conversion to Overlayfs was nearly 100% done by D.L.C. Burggraaff. Thank you. I also hit a brick wall with the 32 bit kernel. For whatever reason it quit booting from the syslinux menu. It was caused by the size of the kernel firmware making the initramfs too large. The 32bit kernel would boot in Grub EFI32, so that tells me this is a syslinux bug. Syslinux hasn’t been updated in close to 10 years, so it’s time to just ditch the 32bit kernel. I have some pretty nice machines from the late 2010’s and none of them will even boot Parted Magic. When Slackware 15 is released the 32bit userland will be moved to 64bit. Also when Slackware 15 is released, I will be starting a new project called Parted Magic Arm. -Patrick
Mon Oct 12 16:13:30 UTC 2020 More fixes and improvements. for the 1000+ programs that have been updated. +——+ Mon Sep 28 22:30:46 UTC 2020 More minor fixes and improvements. Added missing kpartx. Added Keepassxc. +——+ Fri Sep 25 16:15:16 UTC 2020 It’s pretty much down to the “same size” as the last stable release. Sort of. The problem is the 64bit binaries and libraries are just bigger. The NVIDIA drivers, locales, fonts, man pages, and new program additions just take up more space than I would have thought. I guess it is what it is. 1.5GB. In all honesty that’s a small OS in 2020. I tested this on an old laptop from 2013 and it booted up just fine, even in the default mode running from RAM. Even the worst machines from 10 years ago still have enough RAM to run this new bigger Parted Magic. I’m hoping this is production quality and if you find any problems, please let me know. You’ll notice this download from today has wireshark and a functioning WHDD. +——+ Mon Sep 21 20:15:36 UTC 2020 Lots more big changes. Instead of using root, we are using partedmagic as the user. This allows some of the more stubborn programs like recent versions of qt-fsarchiver to use /home. I also removed qt4. This saved a great deal of space. More bug fixes and cleanups. Current iso is 1.5GB. +——+ Mon Sep 14 17:35:34 UTC 2020 Replaced SCIM with IBUS. Added Wine and catfish. More program removals. Size is 1.6GB +——+ Sat Sep 12 20:23:58 UTC 2020 Made some major changes from the previous build. Lots of unnecessary programs have been removed. I removed all the miscellaneous video/music players and added VLC as a doall player. I also created enough extra space to add LibreOffice. The current iso is 1.8GB. A ton of small problems have been found and fixxed. +——+ This is a big day! I have uploaded the 64bit version of Parted Magic. This is nearly 100% all new. Most everything works, but the size is ridiculous at 1.9GB. We will be working for the next month to get the size back down. I have included the man pages, locales, and the NVIDIA drivers. I don’t have the menus updated, but you can trigger the locale menu with the kernel command line cheat code lang=yes. This automatically starts scim as well. The desktop environment is now XFCE.
This version of Parted Magic updates to Linux 5.16.1 and fixes a few minor problems with the Secure Erase and NVME Secure Erase programs. Manufacturers are starting to get a bit carried away with the length of names given to drives. The names are now limited to 15 characters, so the Secure Erase GUI should now fit well on everybody’s screen. If there is still any doubt to what drive is what, do a mouse over and the entire name will be shown in the tool tip. We are using the bleeding edge NVIDIA 510.39.01 driver because it’s the only driver that will compile with the 5.16.1 kernel.
This version of Parted Magic updates to Linux 5.17.1 and is based on Slackware 15.0. The package management app has been moved to the desktop. Any packages downloaded with the package manager will be added to your Save Session (if you use it) and will install on the next boot automatically. Now that we have a stable version of Slackware, I can start removing the big apps for the next release. If people want stuff like Libreoffice and VLC, it should be really simple to add them with the package manager. For now the ISO is still 2GB.
