I have not been able to get the packages in stable to work -- they WILL create the backup, but on the restore will not restore the partition information correctly. The Mondo mail list requires usage of up-to-date software -- the stable version of Mondo is around 1.5 yrs old. In working with the unstable packages -- everything will backup great, but the boot cd's will not boot to run the restore programs. In correspondence with the Mondo list, easier compatibility with Debian is on the to-do list. In searching many mail list archives, I have found notes on 'it worked for me', but no such luck for info that would help get it rolling. Thanks!
