I posted this question to the partimage forum a month ago and have got no response. There are a lot of knowlegable people on this list and since partimage will run under Fedora, I thought I would try here. The documentation says that for a restore you must allocate a partition at least as big as the original partition. Question: Is there a way from the partimage backup file to determine how big the target partition needs to be? Robert E. Styma
