Sadly partimage development has stalled for a LONG time.
There was talk of a QT front end but this has never arrived :(

The last file their site is:
unstable 0.7.2 August 10, 2003

Any way, still a great tool, has not failed me yet.

Another way to use partimage is via quickstart, not sure if this is
frowned upon or not, its just a bit easier than the front end for
partimage, but either method works just fine my side.

(I have not used the other options, so don't shoot me if this is another
Automatix saga!)
