Hi all,

I have a question that someone might be able to help me with. I have been
asked if it's possible to take disk images of various WinXX-based machines a
la Norton Ghost (without buying Ghost) and write them to a CD-Writer across
the network automatically. The CD-Writer is also on a Windows machine but
I intend changing that over to Linux as soon as I've got time anyway.

Any thoughts on the best way to go about this? I'm thinking in terms of
'dd' but I doubt that I could manage to pipe the dd image directly as it's
being created to a networked CD-Writer without buffer-underruns.

Thanks,

Ruairi
