Hi Les & Bill,
I used disk->image. During the process it prompted where to place the
target images, which I set to / on a usb partition. It then set the
target dir to /home/partimage (or something similar) to / on the usb
partition. I think at this point it copied its O/S into there and
chrooted onto it. Afterwards, as I mentioned afore, it wrote these
files onto it:

Perhaps, I skipped over a step. It was around 10pm I did this. I shall
read the documentation again to see where I went wrong.
