[TriLUG] New Thinkpad T23!

[Jason Tower]

aside from the rm part, it looks normal (i don't recall seeing any messages 
about rm before).  the other messages occur, i believe, when it gets to the 
end of the disk and runs out of things to read.  the only way to know 100% 
for sure is to restore the image to another disk, but it looks like you had a 
good transfer.  the restore part takes much less time, so what took two hours 
to create can often be restored in about 20-30 minutes.
