finally i finish'd installing all the software that i need on my server running MDK 10.1.
now i need to make an exact copy of the hard disk so i can burn it into CD's .
i need a programm like norton gost .
i need to make the CD bootable .
any help ...

regards .

Try partimage:

http://www.partimage.org/

That's the best imaging program for linux and it's free. You can't back up directly to cd. However you can set partimage up to break the partition image up into say 600MB files which you can later burn to cd. I now use a usb external hard drive with partimage for all my imaging. I use the kanotix live cd which has partimage on it, boot up with it, unmount the partitions I want to image(necessary step with partimage) and image directly to the usb hard drive. Kanotix writes to the external hard drive at usb2.0 speeds which is the main reason I use it and has a very recent kernel so my sata drives are properly detected. You can do the same thing with knoppix but I could never get it to transfer at anything but usb1.1 speeds which is very slow.
If I ever have to restore, I just use kanotix, partimage and my usb hard drive to do the restoration. I've done this numerous times on all different kinds of partitions and have had no problems. Sometimes you have to reinstall the bootloader, but that's not a big deal; had the same issue with Drive Image and Acronis's True Image.
By the way, norton ghost is great for windows but forget about it for linux; same with Drive Image. If you want to go commercial, Acronis True Image has a very nice interface and works well with linux

Mondo Rescue is my favorite. Works better than Norton Ghost IMHO.

how to use mondo?
do i have to make a copy af all partetions?

Hmm...

I haven't looked at Mondo so I can't speak for it... (I'm going to have to try it now after seeing the above post...!)

but what I do is I merely save the RPM package list to a file...

e.g.

rpm -qa >> installed.rpms.txt

Then I tar off all of the /etc directory...

tar -czvf Saved.ETC.Folder.tar.gz /etc/*

And save this to CD.

Now to replicate an installation I perform a minimal install, enough to get some sort of network connectivity... set up the URPMI sources (and/or local files burned to DVD, e.g. a copy of the repository...) and then feed urpmi the list of files to install.

cat installed.rpms.txt | urpmi -

Or something similiar.

This goes out and installs exactly the same setup I had before minus the /etc customizations.

After this is done I restore from the backed up etc files (being careful to omit mtab and fstab if required...).

That's it.

This saves having to create large image files using a ghost type application.

Of course Mandrake also has a provision for saving the installed package base and creating an re-installation floppy containing the package listings that are automatically re-selected upon the next install.
