I went to the web site for 
gparted----at----http://gparted.sourceforge.net/index.php

I clicked on "Downloads."    Here are the Options:

                             A number of G parted releases are offered 
from  older
                             to the current release.

                             At the moment I don't plan to use gparted 
from a memory                                       stick

I would plan to have Gparted on a CD and when I needed to use it to put 
it into
a CD drive on the computer which I wanted to re-partition.

I don't understand the difference between a standard Release of G parted and
a LiveCD version of G parted. I do understand when speaking of an 
Operating System on a LiveCD that such a LiveCD will boot a computer but 
operation of the LiveCD won't change the content of the Hard Drive of 
that machine.

I'm not askng for an explanation of "Torrent."

Which form of Gparted should I download?

Thanks much,

William
