Re: ghost for linux a.k.a g4l

Thanks Robert,

But when did you notice this email I posted quite awhile ago. AS it turns out 
I was going to try dd but drive died right after backing up the most critical 
stuff operating off a linux rescue disk.

 I have another one to do this time before disk goes bad but Its hard to match 
geometry when the original disk is 6 years old. 

Robert Moonen is a darn nice person I don't care what anybody says!
