Good evening!

I miss an application like partimage, that could be perfect to use DSL as a recovery tool, as well as a desktop distro, that DSL already is.

At present I am joining together Parted Image Linux, as a recovery tool, with DSL, as a desktop distro, in my multiboot ISO. Just if I could have partimage as a part of DSL, may be I only should need DSL ...  :D While I made my backup or restore of a partition I could navigate by Firefox, for instance  :;):

Before posting I have consulted the Search tool and I have not seen any post about partimage.

Thanks.

*JT.

I like partimage too and it's been requested before.

I'll build a uci out of the static binaries that I have and post to the repo.  These just run on dsl but it's always handy to have an extension.

That way you can just load the extension when you need it.

WDef: Thank you. I would do the same you are going to do if I knew how. :laugh:

I have to learn a lot before I try to build an UCI file.

Done.  partimage.uci has been emailed.

It's version 0.6.4.  The last stable release is a bit more recent., but that doesn't seem to have a static binary.

If there are problems let us know, since there is a later (but from the unstable branch) static binary available.

Thanks a lot Wdef, I have downloaded it from the testing myDSL folder, I have booted DSL and in this precise moment I am making a compressed copy or image of an ext3 partition (an installed Ubuntu 7.10). It takes more time than Parted Image Linux. May be because I am using more system resources while the program is making the copy. But it is very comfortable to me not to be boring or idle when I want to make a system backup :p

If it is able (or if it is not able) to restore the system from the backup I only will know  after another session ...  :cool:

It is wonderful!
