Hi List. We have a Samba 3.0pre21 PDC set up here on our prim. fileserver. We use Windows 2000 SP2 on our PC clients. We install clients with system images from disk and than install applications from one central machine running Norton Ghost EE. Ghost has the functionality not only to install the software from the "console" on the ghost server, but it is also able to make the

First off I love syslinux and it has worked flawless for us on the unix side of the realm. We're trying to use our ghost images within a dos netboot using syslinux. Unfortunatly we can only pass DHCP ip's to hosts that exhibit a vendor code 'like windows/pxe/and other os's do". Unfortunatly DOS does not, so we cannot request a second IP after the pxe process to map samba

Hello, I would like to clone a Windows XP workstation that's part of a Samba domain using Norton Ghost. In Ghost you need to create an account in the domain to be able to add your domain to the list of supported domains by the Norton Ghost console. When I try to add such an account, I get this error message: Unable to add DOMAIN to the list of supported domains, The procedure number is

Hello I have an OS installation and data on a 40 gb drive that I would like to image to a 80 gb drive. I don't care if the resulting partition layout on the new drive is only 40 gb making me lose space. I just want to move everything from the older drive because I think it's failing. I have looked at partimage and mondo rescue as imaging solutions but both deal with partitions. CAn someone

Have two XP laptops that I am trying to get to back up to a Samba share with Norton Ghost 2003. My laptop is "gtwylptp" and my son's, a Dell 8600 with a broadcom 440x NIC, is "stu07-53". I am the user and group backing up both machines. "gtwylptp" backs up without a problem however "stu07-53" hangs as apparently the Lock file has "RDONLY"

Hello everybody, I want to boot my HP x86 PCs with a Norton Ghost 12 boot disk image via PXE. I followed all the steps but I have still the same message and the booted computer hangs always. 0- I created the boot image. 1- A folder named tftpboot and tpftpboot\pxelinux.cfg created. 2- The pxelinux.0 copied in tftpboot folder. 3- memdisk copied in tftpboot folder. 4- the image file (norton.iso)

Hello all! I would like to know if is possible to use LILO as the boot loader instead of the default GRUB. My question comes because I tried to run lilo command but the message "command not found" appear. It sounds like my only boot loader option in CentOS is GRUB ??. I found lilo.conf.anaconda, but not the lilo command. From already thanks. Regards, Juan P. Espino

If I were to lose my main hard drive, I would like to have the opportunity to do the same as I can do using Windows: restore from my USB and have a working system. If I were to rsync everything on the main drive (excluding the backup drive, of course and a few other directories) to my USB drive, could I restore using some CD based version of Linux e.g. Knoppix?

The hard disk in my server/gateway started developing bad sectors and making very strange noises the other day.. anyway i got a new drive and copied over the partiton containing linux (ext3) onto the new drive using norton ghost which resized it from 500 odd Megabytes in size to 20 Gigabytes, the new drive works great but i have a few concerns since ghost knows nothing of ext3.. since the

Hi all, I would like to check with you all if the following is possible: I'd like to combine G4L (Ghost clone) with PXE (been done before) but in such a way that an option in LDAP is checked after booting with PXE. If it's set, a certain program is executed with certain parameters (G4L), if not, the PC should continue to boot in it's installed operating system. Is the latter

I was thinking of putting a slightly bigger HD on my Linux server and would like to know the easiest way. I know that ghost works well on FAT32 partitions, but does it work on Ext3 partitions too? Id rather not reinstall if I don't have to, so any and all suggestions are appreciated. TIA Kev

Hi all, Just thought i would post this for some future referance for some members. I know when i first tried to install pxelinux that we can into all sorts of troubles. So for this reason (plus other training purposes) Myself and a work mate decided to document our install. You can find the instructions located here: Part 1 (Basic Install) http://www.nobluescreens.com/solutions/pxe.php

Has anyone used g4l (ghost for linux) with centos 4.2 or 4.X? I just tried it with RAW mode, it made the image on my ftp server, I then tried to restore it, seemed like it went ok, tried to reboot and it starts up looks like it is going to work but then something is not right? I am not even sure how to explain what is not right. can you share your steps. Thanks, Jerry -------------- next

Hello, We use Norton Ghost, running in a PXE booted DOS, to handle Windows XP images. The images are stored on a samba share on our CentOS 6 server. This has worked without any problems for years. After kernel 2.6.32-279* it has stopped working. The symptom is that if I boot in DOS, and do: net use x: \\myserver\ghostimages dir x: I get an infinite loop where the first file name is listed

Hi, I'm currently fiddling with G4U (Ghost for Unix), and I need to setup a local FTP server in order to get it to work. # yum groupinstall "FTP Server" --> installed vsftpd Here's what I'd like to do : * no anonymous access * only one user (user 'install' / pass 'install') The machine I'm installing it on has a static IP ok

Hi, I'm currently experimenting with G4U (Ghost for Unix), a small cloning application sending disk images to an FTP server. The application reads the whole disk bit by bit, compresses it and then stores it remotely. Due to this approach, it's more or less filesystem-independent. The drawback is that it sometimes results in huge image files. Now I'm currently following a hint

I'm looking for something (ideally) in the CentOS repo that lets me easily take and restore snapshots of my system while powered on (similar to how later versions of Norton Ghost work). Is LVM my best bet to do this? (I hate to admit this, but up to this point when I've been in a pinch, I've just powered the box down on off hours and then imaged it via some sort of live cd)
