Partition Management - Raspberry Pi User Guide - page 70

he disc works on both PCs and Macs, and operates entirely from memory. As a result, it won't
try to replace your existing operating system. It's also compatible with any distribution for the
Raspberry Pi, unlike the Debian-speciic raspi-config tool.

If you're a Linux user, you can install gparted —the graphical partitioning tool used in Parted
Magic—instead of having to boot from the CD. For Debian-based distributions, you just type
sudo apt-get install gparted followed by sudo gparted to load the program.

TIP

Download the Parted Magic ISO image ile from http://partedmagic.com and write it
to a CD or DVD using the CD writing program provided on your PC. With the disc still in the
drive, reboot your computer and it will load into the Parted Magic menu system. From here,
choose Standard Settings to load the software itself.

Parted Magic is a customised Linux operating system that includes tools speciically designed
for managing storage devices. Connect the Raspberry Pi's SD card to your computer and load
Partition Editor from the desktop by double-clicking the icon (see Figure 5-4).
