Hi Here's what apt says: Package: partimage Priority: optional Section: non-US Installed-Size: 660 Maintainer: Sergio Rua <srua at debian.org> Architecture: i386 Version: 0.6.1-13 Depends: libbz2-1.0, libc6 (>= 2.2.4-4), libnewt0, libssl0.9.6, libstdc++2.10-glibc2.2 (>= 1:2.95.4-0.010810), slang1 (>> 1.4.4-7.1), zlib1g (>= 1:1.1.4) Filename: pool/non-US/main/p/partimage/partimage_0.6.1-13_i386.deb Size: 186628 MD5sum: 76dd5bb8d0322f70db024f886cc8a21b Description: Linux/UNIX utility to save partitions in a compressed image file Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX partition imaging utility: it saves partitions in the Ext2FS (the linux standard), ReiserFS (a new journaled and powerful file system), NTFS (Windows NT File System) or FAT16/32 (DOS & Windows file systems) file system formats to an image file. Only used blocks are copied. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied onto removable media (ZIP for example), burned on a CD-R, etc. . This makes it possible to save a full Linux/Windows system with a single operation. In case of a problem (virus, crash, error, etc.), you just have to restore, and after several minutes, your entire system is restored (boot, files, etc.), and fully working. . This is very useful when installing the same software on many machines: just install one of them, create an image, and just restore the image on all other machines. Then, after the first one, each installation is automatic made, and requires only a few minutes.
