Along with John's suggestion (which sounds good), also have a look at parted and (expecially) partimage. They are a lot like ghost (but not limited to booting a client box with a dos-based floppy/image). I have used it with great success for backup purposes, but never for mass-cloning. However, that purpose is exactly what it advertises about itself. It should be installed on your system already. > Thanks, > > -->Rob Cheers Tony
