DSL Ideas and Suggestions :: partimage?

I checked the package list, and noticed that partimage wasnt on it.

Anyone considered adding it?

I know space is at at premium, but this would be damn useful (pardon the pun), especially in a recovery situation.

You can use dd to create exact duplicates of your partition, or use the parted.dsl if you need more functionality than that.

DSL is a desktop distro, not really intended tobe a recovery distro, though we do include many tools for that.

Many uses, many hats, just one DSL.

Hmm...

I thought that there once was a Rescue tools DSL extension that might have partimage in it, but I can't find it now.

It should be possible to build a partimage extension, in theory.

you want build a partimage in your DSL ?
go to partimage.org, download the static package.
tar it.
cp the two files which are tared from the package partimage and partimaged to /bin.
then you can use this tool anywhere.

How would I do this if I was running from a CD?

Open the ISO?
