“Parted Magic 5.8 is out and comes with a bunch of updates and
some new packages. The latest version is mostly a bug-fixing
release and doesn’t really add any new features. It comes with a
brand-new Linux kernel and the latest version of the Gnome
Partition Editor. Parted magic 5.8 also allows the entire ISO image
to be loaded into RAM.

“”After several months of work, a new version is ready for
release. Many bugs have been fixed and many core programs have been
updated,” Patrick Verner announced.

“”You will notice the Linux 2.6.36 kernel and the newest version
of the Gnome Partition Editor (GParted). There is also a mess of
new stuff as well,” he explained.”
