There is also Ghost for Linux http://freshmeat.net/projects/g4l/ , which though I have not used, essentially bundles standard linux tools to get the job done. I have, in the past, setup netcat, and copied a live system over to another system using dd. I needed minimum downtime, and thankfully it was not in heavy use at the time, nor did it have a database, all of which would have made for a disaster. But it was quick, dirty and got the job done. If you have an image you could do the same thing, from a non-live system. And it would prove rather straight forward I think, and should handle the boot records without having to do run grub-install or lilo afterwards. James - nice to see another NHer on the list...
