PartImage and SystemRescueCd (Was: RE: [gentoo-user] what's next)

["John Dangler" <jdangler@atlantic.net>]

I noticed that partimage (0.6.4-r3) is available on portage, but
SystemRescueCd (SystemRescueCd-x86-0.2.15) isn't.
a) Have you had any problems getting these up and running? 
b) Have you noticed any collisions with adding packages to your gentoo
install after these? (dependency / reverse dependency problems)

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it!

Personally, I prefer to backup at the partition level. Partimage works quite

well for me.

I boot with  SystemRescueCd (has partimage built in) to backup and/or
restore 
my partions.
