Hello,

	The co-host that i use to host my email, web and DNS doesn't offer
     the option of using FreeBSD. This isn't really a problem per-se,
     but i would *really* rather use FreeBSD as it is what i am
     accustomed to and most comfortable using.

	 So, off to my question. They offer a "rescuemode" where i can boot
     into and have full access to the disks. Do you think it would be
     possible to maybe create an image of an existing BSD install with
     the same disk makeup, etc. and dd it to the remote disk? Have any
     of you ever attempted this before? The procedure that i was
     planning to use involved using dd to pipe the image over a netcat
     connection.

     Thanks!
