[plug] Re: disk imaging a la ghost

[John Breen]

There is, however, a windows-based version in existence if I remember
rightly.

Cheers,

	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

	Yours
