Mondo Rescue (http://www.mondorescue.org/) will create a image of your hard disk including all partitions (even NTFS for us dual-booters). It will write that image out to an attached network drive, a CD-R(W) or tape and the CD-R's are made bootable with the currently-running kernel. (Hmm, I wonder if that includes USB drives...)
I'm not sure how well it works on Knoppix (don't have a machine with two CD drives and 'toram' locked up on me). But this would be great for DamnSmall since 'toram' uses a lot less RAM...
One drawback is that NTFS partitions are bit-by-bit copies which, of course, leaves the image pretty large. The current unstable version (1.74) uses a hacked version of PartImage to leave out "empty" sectors and reduce the size of NTFS partition images.
Thanks, 8) SideWynder'toram'? That would be cool, but I cant sem to use it. Iv got 0.4.8, and I assume you type 'toram' as root or user, yeah? Tried both, neither works. Please help!

To run in ram boot with 'knoppix toram'.
I've never tried this image tool thing, but it sounds interesting. It's allready in knoppix?sevengraff - Yep, I verified it last night booting to Knoppix 3.3 on my laptop. Of course, I couldn't record CD's then, but it is there. I'd like it on a LiveCD that I can boot in RAM and not have to mount any partitions... SideWynder
