It's the fdisk/mkreiserfs, restore rsync ssh/nfs (not using dd) that I'm stuck on. Also should have been more clear, cdrom drives are not available, need to use a floppy (or two) and the network. Using dd like you say sounds like a lot of trouble. I think it would be easier to make floppies with rsync ssh reiser kernel etc. >In either case, check out Timo's Rescue CD set >(http://rescuecd.sourceforge.net/) as well as the Gentoo Live CD.
