Maybe. Another thing that crosses my mind; are you disk imaging or partition imaging. I can't imagine that you're doing partition imaging because I can't think of any way you could get as far as you have, but as I said, it's something that crossed my mind. Definitely disk imaging. -nicole

Norton Ghost?

Anyone used debian with norton ghost? I have a problem with lilo when I create a bootable CD image of a dual boot debian+win2k box. I thought maybe moving around the order of images in the lilo.conf (which ghost attempts to follow) would fix my issues, but apparently not. I talked to their tech
