[dundee] Image hard drive to file

[Lee Hughes]

you cant image a filesystem while it's mounted.

either unmount it, or boot from a live disc, and do what you will to it
from there!

Anybody any ideas how to go about this, Ive looked around, but no luck..

The drive i want to image is mounted as a second drive in a FC8 system. The drive has an install of redhat on it.
