That's what I was afraid of.  Of course, Ghost has to
ask (at least 8.3 does) what to do with the rest of a
drive if you load an image from a 20GB drive to an
80GB...
I would think someone has written a frontend to dd, or
a completely new program, to function like Ghost for
Linux, but maybe we've still got a wait on that one. 
All I can think of otherwise is checking places like
SourceForge and see what they've got to offer.
