So now I installed Ghost under a Windows 2000 guest and will attempt imaging the Linux hard drive file dumping it directly to my (NTFS) host file system via networking.

Oh right, I see. I just installed Chinook so I am not sure either.

The VMWare image does come with a lot more programs then just vanilla scratchbox install on normal linux so this could be good

I don't know if this helps any but vmware does have the function of mounting one of it's virtual hard disks as proper hard disks in the host operating system (at least on Workstation 6.0.2 ACE Edition. I tried mounting a linux virtual hard disk in Windows. I installed "Ext2 Installable File System for Windows" and it worked.)

Good luck
