parted magic 5.7

boot it by grldr and map --mem options
the first impression is the driver support
sound works along with my amd 785g chipset
network, the onbroad lan, my rt2500 usb and rt73 both work, excellent, say thanks to kernel 2.6.35.7

the first time I use dhclient to get the ip address, but soon I realize it doesn't work
you need udhcpc -i wlan0 instead

152MB of the 5.7 iso, almost 10MB bigger than the previous 5.5
and compare to the <100MB release, newer version not likely to work on old system and memory-low system

equip with Chromium, and a small script to install flash/ java, the support of CJK unicode fonts and pdf viewer, image viewer
it becomes a thin system and even capable for desktop user, office or small multimedia purpose

tens of tools to monitor, view hardware info, detect your system, mount tools, burn tools, it is now more robust but not bloated

fast, thin, feature-rich, reliable
