Thanks for the offer, but I'd need to format a
hard drive thusly. This is
a decent solution if I can't come up with anything else.
The image could be mailed and rawritten to a floppy (or turned into a
bootable .iso), and something like Ghost for Unix could be used to
expand the filesystem to the appropriate hard disk. At least, I
-think- that could work if one booted G4U off a CD if the filesystem
was on a floppy or vice versa.
-dhbarr.
PS: Just a reminder not to be confuse about Ghost for Linux, an
apparently non-credited rip of Ghost for Unix.
