[TriLUG] Installfest question

[Justin Johnson]

Hey all,

I have a laptop that I use for 'couch coding' and surfing that 
is currently running XP. I need to keep XP on it for development 
purposes, but I really would like to install linux as I am trying
to move away from Windows as my primary OS at home. 

Problem is that I only have a 4gb drive in this laptop. I can pick up
a 20-40 GB drive at Intrex, butI would need to image my current OS up 
to a server, swap drives and then restore the image to a partition on
the new drive before instaling linux. I've used PowerQuest drive image 
in the past to do imaging, but I don't  have a copy of that. Is there 
a way to do what I want with linux tools, and if so, would that be beyond
the scope of the installfest?

Just wondering....

Thanks,
Justin
