SCOUG meeting cancelled

2001-09-15 19:02:39 -- Igor Vanin [www.os2world.com, Gary Wong]

SCOUG's Sept 15th Meeting Is Cancelled.

Because of the recent events in New York and elsewhere, and resulting difficulties in trying to pull together the pieces for a first class Saturday SCOUG Anniversary meeting, the Board (at my request) has decided to cancel Saturday's meeting. We'll reschedule the anniversary party to our October SCOUG regular meeting. The multible installations of OS/2 will also be rescheduled, perhaps to November as we already have another topic set for October.

We will do our best to notify all members, and would appreciate the help of everyone in letting their SCOUG friends know about the cancellation -- receiving more than one notice is a lot better then driving to Orange for naught.

Thanks for your understanding, and see you in October.

Partition Image

2001-09-15 18:42:24 -- Igor Vanin [VOICENWS, Klaus Staedtler]

Save your disk partitions to image files.

Partition Image is a linux tool quite similar to Symantecs ghost or Powerquests Diskimage, as it supports HPFS too it might be quite useful for those OS/2 users having a Linux system installed

Description: Partition Image is a Linux/UNIX utility which saves partitions in many formats (see below) to an image file. The image file can be compressed in the GZIP/BZIP2 formats to save disk space, and split into multiple files to be copied on removable floppies (ZIP for example). The partition can be saved across the network since version 0.6.0

Supported file systems:

• ReiserFS: a new journalized and powerful file system
• ext2fs/ext3fs: the linux standard
• FAT16/32: DOS & Windows file systems
• NTFS: Windows NT and 2000 File System (experimental support)
• JFS: Journalised File System, from IBM, used on Aix (beta support)
• XFS: another journalized and efficient File System, from sgi, used on Irix (beta support)
• HPFS: IBM OS/2 File System
• HFS: Hierarchical File System: MacOS file systems (beta support)
• We plan to support BSD file systems in the future

Partition Image is released under the GPL
