14 DAY TRIAL // 4MLinux developer Zbigniew Konojacki is informing Softpedia today about the Beta release of his upcoming 4MParted 21.0 distribution, a small Live CD that you can use to partition disk drives without having to install any software application or script.
4MParted is a tiny Live CD designed to do a single thing, namely disk partitioning. It's usually distributed as part of the 4MRescueKit project, which, in turn, is also a Linux distribution, and both are derived from the 4MLinux operating system. As expected, 4MParted 21.0 is based on 4MLinux 21.0.
Both these distros are currently in development, with a Beta image available for early adopters and those who want to help the developer address any issues that might block the final release, due in March 2017. Inside 4MParted 21.0, users will find Gparted 0.26.1, the tool used for every single disk partitioning operation.
Whether you want to format or wipe a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD), or you just want to resize, split, or merge partitions, 4MParted promises to help you do exactly that, and the best part is that it does not even need to be installed on your computer as it works straight from the bootable medium, be it a USB stick or CD/DVD disc.
The Beta ISO image of 4MParted 21.0 is now available for download from our website, if you plan on test driving it or becoming an early adopter yourself. Just please try to keep in mind not to use this pre-release version for any production work. The download link also provides you with the stable release of 4MParted if you plan on using it for any disk partitioning stuff.
