However there are 2 points to take into consideration when using partimage. 1: You need a newer version of partimage than the one in Ubuntu Hardy and it needs to be on both systems. (I recommend system rescue cd which is most cli but part gui) 2: You will need the laptop to be wired into the network for partimage to work. After say that if you goto http://www.sysresccd.org/Main_Page it tells you how to setup partimage to do just what you want. -- Seek That Thy Might Know
