thanks everyone - i guess best thing to do is just try! Ill test with a 2.5 HDD that i will liberate from an old machine.

Slightly OT - but is conky all good to work in XFCE?

Thanks for reading this.

If I have made a copy of my linux box - am I able to simply re-install the entire image on just a blank ex4 partitioned drive? Simple as that?

I know that you can change the settings of the mouse pad etc but I cant seem to work out why when I try to use my mouse there is a latent period of just under a second. So when I try to use the mouse...

Thanks very much for pointing something that I should have realized! Yes I just needed to download the GUI.

Is it quite simple to use remasterys? Of course i can take a...

Just wondering -

I guess clonezilla is the obvious winner but is there another tool that you use and pefer?

I am looking for a solution to make a complete image backup of my machine so in case...
