None that i know of, and for the folks that are thinking, just copy it all
with 'cp -Rp /dos/linux'  to an ext2 partition, that will not work as one
would expect.

If you have enough room on you HD, but have no room for another partition,
you could use FIPS, which is on most distribution cdroms and ftp sites.
READ the manuel first, you could end up deleting the whole disk.
