+FSArchiver is a system tool that allows you to save the contents of 
+a file-system to a compressed archive file. The file-system can be 
+restored on a partition which has a different size and it can be 
+restored on a different file-system.  Unlike tar/dar, FSArchiver 
+also creates the file-system when it extracts the data to partitions. 
+
+Everything is checksummed in the archive in order to protect the data. 
+If the archive is corrupt, you just loose the current file, not the 
+whole archive.
+
+Build Notes:
+Please note that LZMA support is disabled in the script, the source 
+apparently needs next major version of LZMA (renamed XZ) which is 
+still in beta.
+
+Static binary is built so it can be copied with your backup scripts and 
+used when you don't have package installed but need the binary.
+
+Dependencies:
+zlib, bzip2, e2fsprogs and other filesystem tools which are all part 
+of Slackware.
+
+There are no man pages in the package.  For short help, fsarchiver -h.  
+For detailed usage, check out the project website
