   No. I rarely image hard drives, and when I do, it's with dd.

   Er... that seems to be a question for alt.os.linux, but what I did (fairly   
   recently) was:   
   - set up the new partition from the old install   
   - boot to a livecd   
   - copy everything from old to new using mc   
   - edit lilo.conf to reflect the new config   
   - "cp /mnt/hdd3/etc/lilo.conf /etc"   
   - "lilo"   
   - reboot into my copied install to check that everything was kosher   
      
   I'm sure that's not the right way to do it, but this way I didn't have to   
   worry about the two partitions being different sizes.
