Sorry I didn't mean to sound pissy.  The partimage program really isn't that 
hard to learn so you may want to just jump into that one.  It is pretty 
powerful and will also do ntfs copies if you need that.  For ntfs it says 
that it may not be ready but I have had no problems with that.  The other 
thing to look at that comes with *buntu is "dd" command.  It will copy an 
entire disk also.
