I think I read that a byte-by-byte is possible using RIP or one of the other tools on that CD. You can get the iso at... sunsite.rediris.es/sites2/ibiblio.org/linux/system/recovery On Wednesday 07 July 2004 04:45, Greg Wallace wrote:
Thanks, but I thinking of something along the lines of Norton Ghost for Windows. It makes a complete byte by byte image copy of the full partition. When you restore, you get that copied back over what you have. So you are right back to where you started from, regardless of anything that happened in between. I just need to find a tool like that for SuSe Linux.
Thanks, Greg W

How do I do the copy to the 2nd hard drive? What tool?
Thanks, Greg Wallace
From a command line as root. I assume you have it partitioned and a file system on it. Try "cp -Rp" source/* dest/. If done correctly it will copy a source (like a CD) to a hard drive. Both CD and HD must have a large enough destination (it can be bigger) and a file system (type doesn't matter - ext2/3, reiser)
