Theo's filesystem_migration page triggered a memory. A couple years ago I also tried to use Norton Ghost to clone and had blinking cursor issues. The problem was ghost didn't support cloning grub which I was using for my double-boot system. In fact, I'm under the impression that ghost may not work with linux at all. To fix it I booted each computer with knoppix and reinstalled grub (as in Theo's webpage). Now I use clonezilla for one-off jobs and the drbl live cd for entire labs. http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-SE.php -peter
