One of a million ways to ghost the linux way...
To make an image:
load a bootable Linux CD such as Knoppix (
www.knoppix.net)
then on a command prompt type:
dd if=/dev/hda |gzip | ssh
user@image.machine.com cat >/path/to/image.gz
To put an image into a machine:
load a bootable Linux CD such as Knoppix (
www.knoppix.net)
then on a command prompt type
ssh
user@image.machine.com cat /path/to/image.gz |dd of=/dev/hda
There, you just saved yourself a boatload of money on buying ghost.
I believe there are graphical tools on the CD as well...
