Even if I can dd to a file, then from the bootable cd, dd that back - that 
would be good enough.  I have looked at ghost, and if anyone has 
experience with that (it does create bootable cd's now, I believe), any 
expertise would be greatly appreciated.  The other thing I had looked at 
was partition image - which looks to be a ghost clone for linux.
