Thanks for the tip Moltke.
I'll definitely look into that Live System Create feature.
I'm also planning on cloning this drive when I'm finished getting all my files organized.
I own a Cloning Drive Dock. The only thing I'm wondering about with a totally cloned drive is whether it would work well if booted up on a totally different notebook computer? I'm thinking it might be better to install Linux on that computer from scratch and then just copy over these panel folders. That way the install will have potentially addressed any special hardware issues with the other notebook computer.
I've also found a way to "cheat" on Windows. (ha ha)
I've created a Linux system on a drive connected via USB. Then I just set the BIOS up to boot on the USB first. If I have the Linux drive plugged in when I turn the computer on it boots up in Linux. If leave the Linux drive off-line then the computer boots up to the notebook hard drive with Windows. So I've discovered I can have the best of both worlds without any major hassle. ;D
I need to keep Windows around until I find a replacement for SharpDevelop. I use SharpDevelop to do C# programming. I've been trying to install SharpDevelop on Linux using WINE, but so far no luck.
