I looked into this a while back & found 2: http://freshmeat.net/projects/g4u/ http://freshmeat.net/projects/g4l/ I believe that one claims the other is a rip-off of his work, but from a usage point-of-view both are open-source. I can't recall why I found neither of them to be suitable for me in the past - I ended up using `partimage` from the Knoppix CD. `partimage` allowed me to save my partition images onto a USB hard-drive & split them up to cope with the FAT32 file size limit. It worked perfectly but I recall it took me a few tries to get it right as the originating hard-drive had a number of partitions, primary & logical. Stroller. -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
