![]() As I said, I have already moved on from pmagic (a long time ago). Both IPK and apt-offline bundles have their advantages and leave parted magic modules in the dust. Sorry I don't see parted magic as something particular great or special. Both of the replacement paths provide advantages. So ady choose path of replacement to parted magic modules. listaller produces IPK files that are fairly much distrobution netural. So moving to a debian base you can rebuild your addons on Windows and OS X with the latest versions.Īpt-offline is not the only option once you are inside debian. deb package that adds a check somewhere for apt-offline files and order their install and you fairly much have what parted magic is upto. Yes the result of apt-offline is all dependancies include for requested program to add in 1 file. apt-offline runs on Windows OS X and any Linux distrobution with python to make new bundles. Note you can apt-get any extra tool you need.Īdd apt-offline to gparted and you are in party central. You can apt-get any extra tool you need from any debian repository with gparted live as long as you have the ram to hold it. Read the create-gparted-live its using a gparted disc on a system with 1 G+ of ram to rebuild itself. Gparted iso module files are just standard. Its not hard to script a equivent to pmodules without half its limitation issues. Pmagic/pmodules stuff is in fact horible you are fully dependant on upstream to update. The most common tool disc are debian live. Creating the tool to process gparted iso thinking its iso is a standard debian live cd covers clonezilla and many others. Syslinux.cfg of a debian live cd will be just as bendable as a parted magic one. UBCD was to solve carring around the 100+ floppies for different diagnostic items. Without the partitition editor you have mostly bricked the disc for a lot of issues. Sorry realistic candidates in my point of view you are making impossible.ĭropping a Linux distrobution losing gparted so losing fully function partition editor is not even a possiblity. Really a ubcd customised create-gparted-live is what I am more thinking of.Īdy you say realistic potential candidates are few. Next is ram usage is lower than parted magic.Ĭlamav and others can be apt-get in or you can rebuild with them included. File manager pcmanfm is included the exact same file-manager parted magic uses same basic interface to access different types of media and filesystems. I guess you did not read gparted default list. To justify "officially" merging some GNU/Linux Live ISO image into UBCD, it has to be light in resources (low RAM required, low CPU required, low size required), updated tools, actively maintained, *easy* customization by additional modules (such as testdisk, clamAV.), user-friendly GUI (specially the file manager, with easy access to different types of media and filesystems). Also we can be are fairly sure Debian is not going to fail and they never going to get the idea of charging us. Returning to a debian base is also particularly good thinking Steam OS is also debian based so there should be some nice supported hardware. Really creative would be creating a script to rebuild a customised version of gparded and ubcd from inside the livecd of gparted. Gparted iso can be used to rebuild customised version of itself. Hardware advances yes also new hardware bugs get invented its a on going battle to have a Linux OS or any OS that will not cause disasters. My basic idea unsupported stop using we are risking very bad outcomes. Maybe some other items could be merged into a debian image that could not be merged into a partedmagic. So now the question becomes what do we really want in applications in the disc. Gparted is customisable pulling in built debian packages. Gparted the upstream just use debian livecd's.Īnything happens to gparted we don't have the partitioning tool either. Rather than downloading the iso file from online, you want it installed via an iso embedded in the executable itself.Ī similar procedure is described on the Creating a Standalone Plugin page as well as īegin by creating a 7-zip SFX configuration file "config.txt" which invokes unetbootin.Personally I say drop Partedmagic and put in the gparted instead. ![]() Suppose you want to create a simple executable that will allow your user to just double-click on it and have Slitaz installed to a USB drive after just selecting a target USB drive and pressing OK, with no other intervention necessary. ![]() These directions are oriented towards deployment on Windows, but those deploying on Linux can use makeself in a similar fashion.
