i got a dlink usb 10/100 nic.
i modload usbcore usb-uhci and pegasus (the dlink nic driver)
It all works nice.
As for transferring your hd.
I know you can ghost windows partitions.
For linux i tar gzipped the whole dir structure. Only problem is you have
to recreate the boot stuff, that just means reloading lilo.
