slitaz 4.0 boot from grub4dos & updating gparted on 3.0

I boot slitaz from grub4dos on a UFD. I could boot 3.0 using :

    title ³ SliTaz 3.0 ³

    find --set-root /slitaz-3.0.iso

    map --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /slitaz-3.0.iso (hd32)

    map --hook

    chainloader (hd32)

This does not work with 4.0 RC1. Anyone know how to boot 4.0 from grub4dos.

-----------------------

How do I update gparted from 4.6 to a later version ( on slitaz 3.0 ), say gparted-0.10.0.tazpkg ? Is there a ISO with 10.0 already installed ?

Maybe a fragmentation problem ? try :

title ³ SliTaz 4.0 RC1 ³

find --set-root /slitaz-4.0-RC1.iso

map --mem --heads=0 --sectors-per-track=0 /slitaz-4.0-RC1.iso (hd32)

map --hook

chainloader (hd32)

Re: slitaz 4.0 boot from grub4dos & updating gparted on 3.0

grub4dos gives a error message if the file is fragmented, anyway tried that and it does not help. actually i think 4.0 rc1 does not work on my system - i managed to boot it using methods suggested at reboot.pro but it hung after booting.

Can someone guide me on installing gparted-0.10.0.tazpkg on 3.0 ? I tried but it said libparted not found.
