[K12OSN] Acer Aspire One Linpus Recovery DVD?

[Conrad Lawes]

Here's a  thought:

How about using dd to dump the disk image to  a USB key and network drive?
Example,

dd if=/dev/sda  of=/mnt/media/acer-linpus.img

You could also boot CloneZilla off a USB Key or external CD ROM drive then
use CloneZilla to backup the hard drive.
