Fair enough, this probably doesn't do what you want. I use to to backup my root partition, creating it temporarily on my home partition. You could probably get around this using packet-writing on the dvd, although I've never tried to get that to work. As for the individual files, it seems it's a planned feature to make partimage output files mountable, but there currently is no way. -- Tom Wesley
