Hi saikee, thanks for the great threads, it's exactly what I have been looking for, for some hours now.

I would like to try the imaging with two systems and have some questions.
I am just dreaming about a magic Linux Live CD that someone might know.
I wished:
--> it could boot up a live system in a small 56 MB Ram (the smallest of my systems)
--> has ndiswrapper ready
--> can mount a ntfs harddisk (ntfs-3g?)

My ultimate wish is to use your procedure to image systems via external usb harddisk or wifi usb stick, to a file, and then restore the systems.

Is there something like that or is that a dream of a foolish linux-noob.
