I have actually used Nortons Ghost 6.1 to copy linux partitions from one
hard drive to another. With success!! I was sceptical at first, but Nortons
is a good product. Use with caution as always.

Subject: Re: [newbie] how to do 'ghost' install in linux
First I'd like to say, please do not take my response a solution to your
problem since I have no idea what I'm talking about. (Which I find most
often to be the case! :0)~
But thinking about this, I'd like to think it's possible, just not with
Norton Ghost. I don't think it has what's needed to see the file system.
Much like Windows not being able to see a Linux formatted drive, I don't
think Norton would be able to either.
And doing a search at www.freshmeat.net/ the only think I found was this.

Cluster Cloner, system to create clone one system
» latest release: 1.0.0 on Sep 18th 1999
» date added: Sep 18th 1999
» category: Console/System
» license: LGPL
But as it says above that's cluster cloning software. I looked for Ghost,
and I probably should have looked for clone or something like that.
But there's my $0.012 cents! :0) Not even worth the whole $0.02. lol
tdh
p.s.
Just in cause you're wondering, I'm not an Aussie! lol But I have visited
the "Land Down Under" a few times! :0)
