Resizing a partition or imaging onto a disk with different geometry isn't exactly trivial with dd. Compression tools work very well if you just want the _contents_ of a partition, but that won't work if you need to manipulate partition tables on the fly. To the original poster, frankly, if you like ghost, use it. The OS (DOS) used by the imaging program is irrelevant, as long as the program itself can handle the filesystem you're imaging. PowerQuest Drive Image does ok with ext2, and I'm sure later versions of Ghost will too. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp - -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/pale_blue_dot.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPFc6oL9BpdPKTBGtEQJQ5gCg+bOPDp/cxUAKdKUogF0SvDhxrkYAn2Zb /3AuSGYiQMCN7sbrtdI2JtZV =Amig -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
