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 filesystem 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.

New features: pmagic.sqfs now has a version number: pmagic-4.5.sqfs. This should stop the loading of old pmagic.sqfs files lying around on hard disks and USB drives. You can disable Conky at the boot prompt with noconky. Busybox in the initramfs is compiled against uclibc with buildroot and the initramfs is only 136KB now. PPPoE connections can be started from the 'Start Network' program. Parted Magic only needs 192MB to run completely from RAM. The "Live with low RAM" option only requires 48MB of RAM to run.
