Try "xinit"
Partimage will make a copy of the whole partition. You cannot exclude anything.
In fact, you do not need to reinstall. You can use / and /boot (if it is in its own partition) from your backup. Generally, you just need to adapt grub.conf,
fstab in some cases and/or run mkinitrd to recreate the initial initrd img.

You can do this way, but ideally your file system should be unmounted (boot
from
a live CD/DVD).
I, personally, use BackupPC for /home and partimage for the file system (/
and /boot).

Would someone please tell how to use partimage to backup whole fedora 10 system in detail?
rpm -qa | grep partimage
partimage-0.6.7-5.fc10.i386
Please, read:
/usr/share/doc/partimage-0.6.7/README.partimage.html
I also downloaded systemrescuecd and burned it.
But can't use it to backup whole fedora 10 system(actually I don't know how to use it)
Booting this cd can't find graphical option.
fdisk -l

I am trying to backup /dev/sda6 partition.
Is it necessary to backup the /proc , /sys, /lost+found , /media, /mnt, directory to be backed up?
Is it possible to backup /dev/sda6 partition excluding these directory(/proc , /sys, /lost+found , /media, /mnt,) with partimage or systemrescuecd?
Partimage will make a copy of the whole partition. You cannot exclude anything.
If I copy the whole /dev/sda6 partition in a portable hard disk(250GB),then
after reinstalling minimum fedora 10 and copy-paste that /dev/sda6 from the portable hard disk to the newly installed fedora 10's root (/) directory ,will it work ?
In fact, you do not need to reinstall. You can use / and /boot (if it is in its own partition) from your backup. Generally, you just need to adapt grub.conf,
