thanks for the replies. i am hesitant on using dd because if im not mistaken then it dumps everything from the source, including unused blocks. my dilemma is that the recipient machine where i will store the image has specifications equal to the one being imaged. i would be running out of space before i can complete the operation.

hmmn, i guess i would settle for the fdisk+partimage+samba combination unless somebody can point me to an app that does what fdisk+partimage can do. the compression is also a factor since we dont have that much resources to spare.

thanks a lot!

ciao!
