partimage makes a physical copy of the partition. It's not a simple "tar.gz" 
of files. In other words, it does the same work than dd does, but it forget 
to copy all free blocks in order to save space and time. Then everything is 
kept (bootsector informations, all attributes that can exist, ...) It even 
keeps location of files on the disk, then the vmlinuz file won't be moved, 
and LILO will continue to work.
