GParted News Item 200

Due to an issue discovered with the boot "To RAM" option, the GParted team has released another stable version of GParted Live.

This release includes GParted 0.26.0, patches for libparted for FAT file system operations, and other improvements.

Items of note include:

• Based on the Debian Sid repository (as of 2016/May/05)
• Linux kernel updated to 4.5.2-1
• "To RAM" option failed, so reverted to older version of busybox. Ref: Bug 823323

This release of GParted Live has been successfully tested on VirtualBox, VMware, BIOS, UEFI, and physical computers with AMD/ATI, NVidia, and Intel graphics.

NOTE: VirtualBox workarounds: To boot in BIOS mode choose GParted Live "KMS mode", and to fix window manager issues right-click desktop and choose "fluxbox menu -> Restart". See Bug 761343 - GParted LiveCD won't start on VirtualBox... except with EFI enabled.
