[olug] partition chopping

[Craig Wolf]

Ghost won't work.  Ghost restores the files and the partition grows to
fit the disk.  You image a system to a larger disk, but not to a smaller
disk than the master was created on or you risk corruption of the image
you pulled onto the system you just imaged.  As far as I know, Ghost
won't work with Linux either.  I found G4U that should work in cloning
software regardless of OS but I get off topic now...
