Yes, you can split the image file to a size of your choice.
that's what the docs say..then again, the docs also say you can write across the network...but both of those failed when i tried them....
Both options have worked for me on different machines. Yet again YMMV. Partimage is good if you are cloning identically sized partitions (perfect for a backup). It's a bit more involved if the partitions are different sizes as you will have to resize them thereafter using something like e.g. gparted. -- Regards, Mick -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
