Hard disk management solution Parted Magic announced the release of its latest version.
Parted Magic announced that the new version is now available. The latest version brings multiple major changes. The parted Magic team announced that 32-bit kernel support is now dropped due to syslinux’s initramfs size limitation. According to the announcement, an old version with a 32-bit kernel will also be included but it will be removed from the download list in the near future.
