Actually we have had some problems with this, most recently last week.

We plugged the 'ghost' diskette into the Linux box and booted it. It
seemed to recognize Linux partitions fine, and appeared to enter it's
'copy' step (to a Win host elsewhere on our LAN), but then it hung forever
- never registered any progress.

Our target was a RH-7.2 box which had been set up with ext2 partitions.

Has anyone seen, and [better] overcome this?
