Topic: Gparted live hangs

I am using this s/w for the first time and I had a question of when of when I put the cd in and try the first option on the menu of "live cd:auto- config"
and then I see the text scroll by but when I get to the point where it says "freeing unused kernel memory 384k freed" it just hangs there without doing anything else. It's been sitting at that point for more than 10 minutes. Is this normal? I tried the next option on the menu and received the same result.

Am I doing something wrong? If so, what?

thx

PS.. version used is      gparted-livecd-0.3.4-11.iso

Re: Gparted live hangs

Nothing to do with win 98 se. Gpartetd supports the filesystem used by that O.S. It must be just matter of hardware.
You can use another boot option from the initial screen. The option "force vesa" usually works on most systems.

Or, try to use a newer livecd version.
