OK I have taken a look at partimage. (I was confusing it with 'parted' the partition maker) It looks like it does just what you want. And it IS on knoppix. I just checked. Knoppix is really awfully good. Just stick the CD in a Windows machine and 60 seconds later it is running a 'real' operating system. derek On Thursday 19 Jun 2003 7:28 am, rikona wrote: Hello Derek, Wednesday, June 18, 2003, 2:36:07 AM, you wrote: DJ I am not sure what you are trying to achieve here.
