I just had an idea for a project. If I could make a single boot disk that would start a minimal FreeBSD kernel, and a simple menu system that would provide a step by step front end to dd, that would be able to replace Norton Ghost, right? Anybody think this is good idea/bad idea/great/waste of time? Whatever? Just thinking aloud, mostly, but it may be a worthwhile project. How about calling it "FreeBanshee" (kind of a play off FreeBSD + Banshee is a special kind of ghost)? -Bill -- If a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, then what can I get for two hands in the bush?
