Hi guys,

Is there a way and/or a utility which allows me to create and image of a
linux hard disk incl.  all partitions and then write that to another hard
disk?  Rather like ghost in Windows.  

Although ghost will clone a linux disk it gets it wrong somewhere and the
new disk wont boot. I suspect its that ghost cant handle ext3 correctly or
grub needs to be changed in some way (or both).

Thanks, Walter
