[plug] Re: disk imaging a la ghost

[Chris Cornish]

Ghost will actually do the same with linux's EXT2 filesystem as it will
with any file system. This is becouse it is a file system independant
program. It will even adjust partion sizes and whatnot, Thus makeing it
exellent for harddisk upgrades., and the like. The other thing i wish
to mention is it is a DOS based program no windows based and it will
copy any drive nomatter what letter / drive id is assigned.

If you would like a copy please call me on 0408 095 720 and ill do one
for you
