] Hey Donnie,
] This "how do I copy a whole drive" is such a FAQ. Any chance you
] could add it to the FAQ. (Like you don't have anything else to do ;-)
Don't forget to tell people to set their umask to 000 before they
do it, or they won't be able to write to /dev/null (and lots of
other places in /var.) If you log in as root this may not be a
problem, but if you su it might.
