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:
The Linux kernel has been upgraded from 2.6.23.12 to 2.6.24.3, the e1000 driver module from 7.6.9 to 7.6.15.4, and ATL2 drivers from 1.0.40.2 to 2.0.4. There are new ping.conf/kernel parameters, Cmd_1, Cmd_2, and Cmd_3, to have customized commands executed during the PING process. Files may be added to the live OS dynamically (from the CD/DVD or a network share).
