I've been the maintainer of g4l, and use Fedora as the build system for the most part, but the kernels are built from kernel.org source. It can do direct clones, but can also do disk or partition images to external disk or others via the network. I can run g4l directly from the grub menu to make and restore images. Good Luck. Note: It will take some time to clone since the hard disk speed with be the uncached speed since once the cache is filled you will only get the physical drive speed. > > > EGO II > -- > users mailing list > users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To unsubscribe or change subscription options: > https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users > Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have > a question?
