It would be great to have a working version of partimage on the Knoppix CD.

According to the PartImage FAQ (http://www.digitalissues.co.uk/html/os/misc/partimage.html#20)

My personal favourite so far is Knoppix...
---snip---
As of Knoppix 3.1 10-09-2002 partimage is compiled with "Users Must Login". Doh !!
This makes things tricky since the Knoppix file system is on CD-ROM (read only)
I have not figured out how to creating the required partimagedusers file yet.
I'm hoping a newer version of Knoppix has this sorted out
In the meantime here is a solution.
Here (http://www.digitalissues.co.uk/html/files/partimage_binaries-0.6.1.tar.gz) is a compressed file that includes 2 pre-compiled partimage and partimaged files
They come directly from the partimage root disks and have no login requirements
Download, decompress and execute them on the Knoppix machine in a root shell (pi is partimage and pid is partimaged)

Thanks in advance,
