This isn't anything like Norton's. This is the most incredible OS/drive cloning tool I've ever used. It does it bit by bit. http://www.feyrer.de/g4u/ g4u ("ghost for unix") is a boot-floppy/CD that allows one to easily clone PC hard disks by using FTP. This is often done to deploy a common setup on a number of PCs. The floppy/CD offers two functions: it uploads the compressed image of a local hard disk to an FTP server, and then it can retrieve that image via FTP, uncompress it, and write it back to disk. Network configuration is fetched via DHCP. As the hard disk is processed as an image, any filesystem and operating system can be deployed using g4u. Easy cloning of local disks as well as partitions is also supported. Hope this helps, Kevin -- Kevin Old <kold@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
