I've recently been doing this with norton Ghost (as it's incredibly fast, believe it or not - it'll also do ext2 filesystems.. anyone tried that, by the way?) I recall doing this awhile back, with the only gotcha of "don't try to clone the partition, clone the drive". IIRC, when I tried to clone the partition, I had to initialize the MBR seperately... But it's been awhile, so don't quote me there. ben -- The only thing worse than failure is the fear of trying something new ***************************************************************** To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the text 'unsubscribe gnhlug' in the message body. *****************************************************************
