Yes, backporting should be a fairly simple process. You need to add a deb-src line for testing or unstable to /etc/apt/sources.list: deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ testing main # or deb-src http://mirrors.kernel.org/debian/ unstable main Then, as root: # apt-get update # apt-get build-dep partimage As a regular user, resumably in their home directory: $ mkdir partimage-build $ cd partimage-build $ apt-get source partimage The partimage sources will be downloaded and unpacked into a folder. cd to that folder, then: $ dpkg-buildpackage -uc -us -rfakeroot And if the build is successful, you will have one or more .debs in ~/partimage-build. As root, 'dpkg -i' the ones you want. -- Chris Howie http://www.chrishowie.com -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GCS/IT d-(--) s:- a--->?
