Description Andreas Simon 2003-08-06 07:46:32 UTC

Partimage (sys-apps) is missing on LifeCD 1.4 (athlon-xp-1.4-20030731-cd1.iso). 
Partimage was on the LifeCD 1.4rc4. I see no good reason why it was droped. 
 
Partimage is good to have on the LifeCD because then the CD can be used for fast 
system restoration or cloning with partimage. IMO it should be included again in the 
next LifeCD.

The Life-CD 2004.0 doesn't contain partimage too.

How about marking this bug WONTFIX if it's the opinion
of Gentoo that the Live-CD should not be usable for system-
restoring/backup via partimage?

Moving these so we can remove the "Install CD" component from "Gentoo Linux".

I apologize to everyone for this spam, but according to the bugzilla developers,
this is the only reasonable way to do this.
