189Cloning with Linux
Norton Ghost utility support
If a different boot loader, such as grub, is used, or the preceding conditions are
not met, Norton Ghost clones the system but the new disk probably will not boot.
The system should be started from a floppy disk or CD, and the boot loader
should be reinstalled by running /sbin/lilo or an equivalent.
Warning: Always have a boot disk available in case of problems starting a Linux
system after cloning.
Norton Ghost utility support
Ghost Explorer substantially supports Ext2/3 file systems within image files,
including the restoration, deletion, and addition of files within these file systems.
Problems arise when files that have names that are illegal on Windows are
manipulated. Ghost Explorer cannot manipulate device files or symbolic links.
Sparse files are expanded on restoration, and hard links are broken.
GDisk does not create any Linux file systems or recognize any partitions within a
Linux extended partition.
