About:
Partimage Is Not Ghost (PING) is a live Linux ISO based on LFS (Linux From
Scratch). It can be burnt on a CD and booted, or integrated in a PXE/RIS
environment. Several tools that make it the perfect choice for easily
backing up and restoring whole partitions are included. It supports
backups to and from SMB shares, backup of BIOS data, the ability to blank
the local admin's password, creation of bootable restoration DVDs, the
ability to partition and format a disk before installing Windows, and
more. 

Changes:
Sometimes, mount -t cifs (and possibly also smbfs) only works with the
mount -t xxx \\\\yyy\\zzz syntax, rather than //yyy/zzz. This release
tries both syntaxes. The function Is_Network_On() has been rewritten to
handle cases where dhcpcd mapped eth0 to the fake IP 169.254.xxx.yyy.
