Marianne,



Wow - that was pretty amazing timing.  I did the partimage support described 

on the apache.org link you included.  The Apache VCL project just graduated 

out of Apache's incubator to its own top level project.  As part of that, our 

subversion repository got migrated to a different URL, resulting in the links 

to partimageng.pm and listener.py being broken.  That just happened yesterday; 

so, you just missed the good links.



I just updated the page to point to the correct places.



I labeled the page as "unofficial" because it is not something I can devote a 

lot of time to supporting, but I do what I can to help people get it working 

when I do have time.  Also, we only have IBM BladeCenter hardware to work 

with; so, I couldn't test the stateless image with other hardware to make sure 

it works okay.



The Apache VCL project uses xCAT to do our bare metal provisioning, including 

imaging of windows and linux installs.  We started with xCAT 1.x which 

included partimage.  When we moved to xCAT 2.x, we needed partimage to be able 

to continue deploying all of our images.  Egan Ford gave me some guidance on 

how to make it work, which led to what I explained on our wiki page.
