I am running KDE Pclinuxos on a live usb stick. When attempting to upgrade the kernel I received this at the beginning of the process:
While installing package kernel-2.6.38.8-pclos3.bfs-1-1pclos2011: A bug has been detected in GNU Parted.

However, when I reboot 2.6.33.5 is reported as the version loading. If you need any other info, please provide detailed directions as how to obtain it. If I need to upgrade libparted0 beyond the version in Synaptic,please provide detailed directions as how to do this. When this bug is resolved, please provide detailed instructions as how to resolve my kernel upgrade process. Thanks in anticipation and for everyone's hard work. Cheers, David
