Stephen Hoover Dallas, Texas In case you have time to work it out and you can live with some small bugs, there is a very promising OpenSource project on http://www.sysresccd.org SystemRescueCD is a bootable CD based on Gentoo-Linux. It can - manage partitions - mirror partitions - set up connections to nfs and samba servers via network - ntfs and ufs support is declared as experimental by the authors but seems to work on my home-network Regards, Uli. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] +---+ |Peter Ulrich Kruppa| | Wuppertal | | Germany | +---+ ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Re: Success with Symantec Ghost 7
It took Ghost approximatly 1 hour to copy each 9G hard drive (2 hours total). The Dell has dual PIII 500's in it. Certainly not the fastest solution, but yet another option.
