I am trying to image 4.2Gb of used space on a 80Gb drive, I boot up Knoppix open a root shell and launch partimage from the root prompt....
The problem seems to be that knoppix only has about 795Mb of free space under /ramdisk which I presume is where the tmp dir that I am trying to write my image file to which is not enough for the 4.2Gb, I've tried to make the hard drive write enabled w/ knoppix and put it on there but I have had no luck with it... Bran New Dell w/ XP... Would like to create an image file and then burn it to a DVD using K3b under Knoppix then use the DVD to Image 38 other bran new Dells which are all identical w/ a DVD burner and a DVD Rom which can run Knoppix w/ Part Image in one and copy the image from the other DVD drive???
What am I doing wrong or not doing? Can the free space under /ramdisk be easily increased or should I just create another partion and try to save it there? Help Me! I'm under the gun here and we don't have $3000.00 to buy Ghost for all these PCs.
