Thanks coz continue reply my question, i hope i not bored you, i have download a partition Image form the link that u give, can u give the simplest way to use it and connecting it with my linux....
i hope u understand what i'm writing about...??
I'm guessing you want to know how to install and use it. It's been quite a while for me, but I believe after you get it installed it's as simple as:
/sbin/partimage
And then following the prompts. If there isn't a version that comes in a language you can understand, then I'm really not sure where to point you... Good luck.
As for installing, it depends on your distro and which type of file you downloaded. But there are plenty of threads on this board assisting with installing software on linux, regardless of distro or type of file, there is definitely a thread covering it
This note i read from parti image read me, can u explain more about this
* How to create a boot disk:
-----------------------------
1. compile a recent kernel with many harware support,
and many file systems (as ext2, fat, reiser, ntfs)
with make bzImage (do not use DMA by default)
2. use rdev on the image:
rdev bzImage /dev/fd0
rdev -r bzImage 49152 (49152 = ask disk, and read from 0)
rdev -R bzImage 0 (to make the root RW and allow to login)
3. dd if=bzImage of=/dev/fd0
* How to create a root disk:
-----------------------------
1. dd if=/dev/zero of=image count=3733 bs=1k
2. mkfs.minix image
3. mount -o loop -t minix image /mnt/image
4. remove debug data from binaries executables
libraries and programs to save space:
program:...............objcopy --strip-all program
shared library:........objcopy --stripdebug library.so
5. copy all files to /mnt/image
6. umount /mnt/image
7. cat image | gzip -9 > image.gz
8. dd if=image.gz of=/dev/fd0
