What I ended up doing was taking a Gentoo LiveCD I had laying around, booting off of that, setting hda3 to a mount point under the gentoo system, configuring sshd (with some help from others) to allow root login, and then tarring up home, ftping it to a windows box with generous hard drive sapce, and also grabbing /etc/passwd, group, shadow and my smb configuration stuff.
USB disks are good. I'm taking about spinning disks, not SSD.
I get 20-25 Mbytes/sec on a recent mobo. I could just about live with ~ on one:-)
Now I'm reinstalling Debian Sarge from the netinstall cd on this PowerEdge, and its asking me if I want to use grub. I presume if I say no, it'll asking me if I want to use LILO... which should I use? This is not going to be a dual-boot machine, by the way.
grub.
