I need to image the primary drive in a Win98 machine.  It has one drive =
and I prefer not to spend any extra money to do this.

I have a Suse Live Eval (Thanks Stu) disk so I have access to "dd", =
which looks like it will do the trick. =20

1. I will be starting the box with the Suse disk for my linux =
enviroment.
2. mounting a share from another networked Win98 box ( /OfficePC )
3. # dd if=3D/dev/hda of=3D/OfficePC/USimage
4. Breathe a sigh of relief because it worked.

My Q's are can I send my output file to a mounted share and is the =
command in line "3" correct.
