Subject: Re: transfering linux system to another hard drive
Date: Wed, 5 Dec 2001 08:28:41 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <002201c17d90$c4ee51c0$0100a8c0@tward> (raw)

There is a great program out there called Image cast 4.5 that will do just
this sort of thing. It isn't free, but I love it.
Image cast does have a dos client which  you can make a batch file for which
will do the following:
A. Image all your files, and if you want image [partitions as well.  B.
converts it to a file which you send to another computer on your network or
another hard drive in your computer. C. I use a batch file which then
extracts the image onto the new hard drive, and it is easy as that.
If you are interrested email me off list and I'll see if I can help you get
up and running with IC 4.5, and get your drives imaged.
You can email me at:
