When I do this, I use Norton's Ghost. This will mirror a complete disk,or individual partitions. It will even resize some MS partition types but not Linux. To resize a Linux partition, use something like partition magic. The only drawback to these commands is that they're DOS programs so you'll need a DOS boot floppy. -- Gary Stainburn This email does not contain private or confidential material as it may be snooped on by interested government parties for unknown and undisclosed purposes - Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act, 2000 -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
