assumption: you can't clone a drive larger than 2G with linux since 
there is no kernel support for 64-bit offsets on intel hardware 
(yet) and since there is no I/O interface that uses block numbers
instead of byte offsets.  is this assumption right?  if it is,
does anyone know of any freely available DOS-based clone writer utility?
or does anyone have a recommendation for a commercial alternative?
