I am currently running knoppix installed on one partition of my hard drive. I am planning on creating another reiserfs partition to use for a knoppix test version.

sda3 - knoppix production, my stable environment
sda4 - to be my test environment

I am planning on using partimage to make a copy of sda3 partion which I would then build sda4 using this copy. I would then like to do my testing on sda4. Then when I am happy with that environment I would like to copy sda4 back to sda3 (Production). I have a couple of questions.

1) Is this possible and does it sound like the right way to meet my needs
2) Trying to think this through I realize that there would be references to the partition where my copy originates from. When I copy from one partition to the next say from sda4 to sda3, I was wondering what files would be impacted by partition addresses (i.e. sda4 references that would need to be changed to sda3).

I hope this makes a little sense. I can probably clarify this a little more if you need me to.

Thank you...in advance,
Chip
