The minimal CD is supposed to be exactly that, minimal. > I am not really accepting any new packages except network drivers. you are right but we can consider partimage like a recovering tool, and isn't so useful to have a backup without a cd media to restore it. Sysrescuecd uses a partimage without some useful features like login and ssl, so it works only if you emerge partimage without these features (these options are hardcoded). An alternative could be create a rescue livecd with partimage, bacula utils and so. > That being said, partimage *is* on the experimental LiveCD which we will > be releasing somewhere near 2005.0 with the installer on it. ok > Also, gentoo-dev really is not the place for this.
