Linux-based disk imaging idea for Linux/Windows

[se at panix.com (Scott Ehrlich)]

Hello to all:

I had an idea for a disk imaging program which could be free and work
pretty well - use a Linux boot floppy with DOS/NTFS support and cp and/or
zip included to boot a machine, mount the hard drive, establish a network
share to a destination host, and run cp or zip (for compression) for a bit
copy of the hard drive to the destination.

Of course there would have to be limited support for NIC and possibly SCSI
cards.

If driver support became more expansive, there could be an ISO CD version
for systems supporting CD-ROM based booting.

Any takers for this project (or does it already exist?) :-)

Scott
