<snip>

Or is there a way of compressing / splitting a ghost image? - I have used
compression in the ghosting process, but they are still more than 640mb, so
I can't put them onto CD-Rs

</Snip>

To compress an image you use the -z switch, to split use -span switch

Eg.

ghost -auto -span -split=625 -z9

in a command line will autoname the image, span the file over splits of 625M
(allow 15M free space for system files on the CD) with level 9 (best)
compresion.

It should ask you where to dump the image.  This MUST be on another
partition.

Hope this helps

Stuart
