[Klug-general] hard drive image

[matt at theshadowaspect.com]

dd'ing the whole drive should work. not sure whether the dd'd version
would still be bootable though?

failing that, would it be feasible to dd just the /home and /etc dir and
then, if you need to you could reinstall your distro and then just replace
those 2 dirs?

cheers
