• GPARTED-LiveCD

  
  

  
  The power and simplicity of GParted on a biz-card size LiveCD.
  
  
  
  The CD aims to be fast, small in size (~50mb), and use minimal resources
  
  to get that disk partitioned the way you want it. GParted LiveCD is based
  
  on Gentoo-catalyst, and uses Xorg,the lightweight Fluxbox window manager,
  
  and the latest 2.6 Linux Kernel.
  
  
  
  Being up to date is important! GParted LiveCD will be updated along side
  
  the GParted source releases and have minor releases when bugs are fixed
  
  or new filesystem tools become available.
  
  
  
  The CD also offers the following programs: parted and fdisk
  
  vi, ntfs-3g, partimage, testdisk, Terminal and Midnight Commander.
  
  And also tool to make screenshots.
  
  
  
  GParted LiveCD runs on most x86 machines with a celeron 500mhz or better.
  
  The minimal amount of memory I have tested is 64MO.

• LiveUSB

  
  Since 0.3.4-x version, GParted LiveUSB can be created from the iso LiveCD.
  
  So there is no need to download another file !
  
  
  
  To use the LiveUSB,
  
  
  -either donwload this file in the directory where you have downloaded the iso file,
  
  untar it (tar -xjf set_usb.sh.tar.bz2), become root and run it (sh set_usb.sh),
  
  
  -either follow these simple instuctions (before 0.3.4-3):
  
  
  (1) Create a fat16 partition on the usb stick and make sure it's flagged "boot".
  
  
  (2) Copy from the livecd all the files from isolinux and syslinux directories
  
  and gparted.dat file too, to the usb key.
  
  
  (3) UMOUNT the usb stick and execute this command:
  
  syslinux -s /dev/sda1
  
  (imagine sda1 is the partition of your usb key ; but it could be something else such as sdb1.
  
  
  You may find a complet description of the steps to follow
  at the forum !
  
  
  -either follow these simple instuctions (since 0.3.4-3):
  
  
  The second step is a bit different since there is no more isolinux directory !
  
  You need to copy gparted.dat, and both gparted and gparted.igz files from boot/ directory,
  
  and also all the files in syslinux directory, to your usb-key.
