Also, for those who haven't looked at Ghost recently, Ghost 2003 supports ext2/3. You'll need to bootup from a Ghost floppy; but instructions for creating the floppy are included in the product. g4u (Ghost for Unix) is good; but doesn't support laptops.

Re: another warm fuzzy from M$
IIRC, doesn't WinBlows XP only allow 3 reinstalls before you have to buy another license? OTOH, I have had no problem backing up and restoring 2K using Drive Image. I'd like to do the same thing with a Linux product/App sometime, recommendations?

Well, now that you ask, yes they do as a matter of fact ;) (But it can be from the same copy, or ghosted.) -Original Message- From: Bob Hemus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, November 13, 2003 9:57 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: another warm fuzzy from M$ Collins Richey wrote: Slashdot: Experiences w/ Drive Imaging Software?
