Rick -
Just to sort out this last little dos bit:
I normally have my laptops running nt, configured with a
single ntfs partition taking up the entire drive.
In principle I know how to boot up off a dos boot disk, but
I'm not very good at it.
Once, some time ago, I had the occasion to try to network
an ntfs laptop from a dos boot disk, and I wasn't able to.
I couldn't figure out how to get the network drivers and
the windows networking client set up right (or even to fit
on a floppy).
Could you give me a little more info about how easy it is
to run ghost off a dos floppy to ghost (or restore) over a
network?
Thanks.
