I use dump/restore for this. To create the image, issue the command dump -0 -v -f image.dmp / from the directory where you want the image to be written. To write the image you first have to prepare a partition, mount it somewhere and cd to there. Then you just do: restore -r -f image.dmp You then can take care of grub with dd, if required. -- Hi, Super Nintendo Chalmers! ~ Ralph Wiggum -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
