I had to resort to command line only since the first gui windows just would not let you accept a choice in anything. It took me some time to figure out the command line which I got to work with partimage -z2 -o -d save --volume=700000 /dev/hda9 /mnt/ext2-vol6/downloads2/MD82001.partimg.gz and this seems to be ok, so now I must write to CD Question is, How on earth do you restore, I know you change the save command to restore that is obvious. I mean how do you restore two image file CD's of your OS,when you don't have an OS to operate the restore programme on. Surely you have got to create a floppy version that could be run in conjunction with M8.2 CD1. But if so I don't see how do do it. Anyone got some suggestions. I don't see how you can restore an OS onto itself. John -- John Richard Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]
