Thanks. If I had the materials I would probably go with Ghost, but this
looks like a good approach to say the least.  I did something similar with
knoppix and cpio to capture a moderate amount of data (c. 1GBy) from a
laptop with a corrupted Win32 setup (I know: "How can you tell?"). In that
case I expanded the files at the receiving end and wrote them onto
Win-readable CDs. Here I have about 3 Gby, so I'll need to think about my
target. Naturally burning to a DVD would be ideal.

BML&gt; Please took a nice gander at this:

BML&gt; The second to last page is in dead tree format on my desk, as it is a
BML&gt; nice quick reference.  Please note, though, that if you do not tune
BML&gt; the block size (basically, do it as he wrote it), it may take a while
BML&gt; to store this image.  But it is reliable.  We use this method with
BML&gt; difficult laptops/tablets and KNOPPIX cds (if we can get the tablets
BML&gt; to boot from external CD)
