To which image do you refer? The floppy image is created using dd (dd if=/dev/fd0 of=whatever.you.want.img) from whatever boot floppy I happen to need at the time. The hard drive images are created by setting up one computer how we want it and using ImageCast to create the image. Norton Ghost will do the same thing. You have to keep in mind though the we're just working with Windows boxes in classrooms and offices. I don't know if either ImageCast or Norton Ghost support any of the various Linux partitions (which is what it sounds like you want to do). -- Mike Rambo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
