    Heads Up: Parted Magic and SuperGRUB Disk?

    For those of you that like the Parted Magic and SuperGRUB liveCDs, it appears that the next release of Parted Magic (version 4.4) will also include SuperGRUB:

    Parted Magic 4.4 (not released yet)

    Here's a listing of the currently included programs for anyone that might be interested:

    Included Programs

    ...even with all that, and now SuperGRUB to be included, it remains under 100 MB.

    Parted Magic is turning into quite a nice little toolbox distro, so I keep several copies of it on hand for emergencies, and use it at times for routine maintenance.

    PartedMagic with clonezilla and Supergrub will mean I only need one live CD ... this is great as long as it will boot on all systems.

    Yep, it's beginning to be so good that I could almost use it as a mini Linux distro, rather than just a tool kit.

    It really is getting that full-featured, isn't it?! Do a quick bit of remastering work and throw in a usb key for saving settings and it would serve dually as a transportable mini-distro and toolkit.

    Its quite impressive. Parted Magic and System Rescue CD have been life savers for me personally and professionally.

    tip: SuperGRUB on the Parted Magic LiveCD

    If anyone should look for SuperGRUB on the newly released Parted Magic LiveCD, note that it's only available at the bottom of the boot menu listing before the disk boots into the live system, and is not available once the disk has fully booted.
