Patrick Verner announced yesterday, July 5th, that yet another maintenance release of his Parted Magic Linux operating system for partitioning tasks is available for download.

Powered by Linux kernel 3.4.4, Parted Magic 2012_07_05 comes with the following updated packages: Clonezilla 1.2.12-67, Partclone 0.2.49, lshw B.02.16, udevil 0.2.9, Grep 2.13, and mount-gtk 1.2.1.

Moreover, the following new programs have been added in Parted Magic 2012_07_05: nbd 3.0 (network block device) server and client, and kmod 9.

Parted Magic 2012_07_05 also fixes and issue with dfs using cifs, removes module-init-tools, and adds the "Erase MBR" option to "Erase Disk".

Last but not least there's now a new Fail Safe boot option named "Load NVIDIA", which blacklists the Nouveau video driver and loads the Nvidia kernel module (Nvidia package must be installed first).
