I should have been a _bit_ more specific. I am very aware of smbclient, but have simply not seen it implemented in a rescue or startup boot medium, such as floppy or CD. My only experience with Samba has been on a production system. So, the task now is to find a bootable Linux medium (floppy or CD) which will allow me to decide between dhcp or static addressing, then let me log in via smbclient and mount a share via smbmount and finally, I can perform the imaging via dd. Leads? I came across neonbox.org's nanobox but the floppy image created under Windows would not boot on the laptop I'm working on. I'm downloading Knoppix and will explore it a bit more, too (I've played around with it but not really in-depth). Scott On Tue, 29 Mar 2005 13:25:54 -0500, Derek A.
