I noticed that partimage (0.6.4-r3) is available on portage, but SystemRescueCd (SystemRescueCd-x86-0.2.15) isn't. a) Have you had any problems getting these up and running? b) Have you noticed any collisions with adding packages to your gentoo install after these? (dependency / reverse dependency problems)
Thanks for the input, I appreciate it!

Partimage works quite well for me. http://www.partimage.org/ I boot with SystemRescueCd (has partimage built in) to backup and/or restore my partions. http://www.sysresccd.org/ -jm -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
