You would, as stated in the above article, boot from the Ubuntu LiveCD and then follow the above instructions. Then you would upgrade your grub package (sudo apt-get install grub) and then go and install grub again with "sudo grub" followed by "root (hdx,y)" (where x,y is the partition that you installed Ubuntu to) and "setup (hd0)". @Bruce:

Does this make a difference? To clarify, can I use LiveCD to change version 3.4 of gparted currently on my Mini 9 to version 4.5? Then I wouldn't need to boot from the LiveCD. Hope this is clear(er) Bruce Sorry, forgot to mention that I do, indeed, have Ubuntu on my Dell Mini 9. Does this make a difference?

You will not be able to dynamically upgrade your gparted Live CD but you can upgrade your grub using an older Ubuntu CD. In this regards, cdversion would be the version of Ubuntu that the old CD contains. @Bruce:

Usual upgrade procedure only takes my up to 0.3.4. Does this article address my problem? Seems that it only holds for replacing whole OS, such as Hardy to Jaunty. Does cdversion refer to the OS or the package, gparted in my case? Much thanks.
