It will copy from one partition to another. I'm not sure about the disk limitation. I couldn't get it to work when I tried.

I've never used this option, but my understanding is that it will copy from partition to another. It may be restricted to copying on the same disk. I don't think it does what partimage does and create an off-line image that can be restored to anywhere.

Gparted won't create images of partitions, it will only allow you to create/delete/resize/move them. Other than that, it does exactly what you need :-) Hwyl, Neil. -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/

You can write ISOs to CD or to DVD, there's no fundamental difference in the file format (i.e. no such thing as a "CD iso" v. "DVD iso"). Of course, an ISO larger than the capacity of a CD won't fit. My point: you ought to be able to write any ISO up to 4.7GB to a DVD. And using k3b. I've done this.

Yes, I did mean CD isos to DVD. I think I'll have to ditch that idea. I didn't realise Gparted could copy as well. thought it was just a partitioning tool - thanks for that info. I'll also take a peek at partimage, thanks for that info, too.

Knoppix will see these as well as the Ubuntu live CD. Hope this helps.

Doesn't have a GUI (well, it does, but it's curses rather than 'graphical'), but you might want to check out partimage. > I also need a way to burn iso images to DVD, as opposed to CDs, from > within Linux. K3B does not not do DVDs. What else is there? k3b *does* do DVDs. What makes you think it does not?

K3B does burn dvd ISOs: Tools -> Burn DVD ISO Image. If you mean burning a cd ISO to dvd, I'm not sure if it's possible with anything, let alone K3B.
