Hi Everybody!

I am right now using the RescueCD to image my Ubuntu Partition. Its size is 10Gb I am trying to compress it enough in order to burn just one DVD.

The problem is that I see the following dialog before start imaging:

"Because of a bug, you won't be able to restore MBR from any bzip2 compressed image unless you manually run bzip2 -d on them"

What is that supposed to mean?

Will it be hard if I restore the partition? How will it be exactly?

I am backing up right now, but I want to be on the safe side (I still being a beginner).

Thank you!
