ssh & fsarchiver

[Brian Parma]

last I read fsarchiver doesn't support stdin/stdout, which is the reason 
it hasn't replaced partimage on clonezilla.  To use it, just use sshfs 
to mount the remote ssh directory on your local machine and then tell 
fsarchiver to place it's archiver in that mount point.
