Format the drive as ext2 (ext3 will not be readable by windows)
after booting to PXE Linux:
1. use "dmesg" to see what the external drives device name is (example: /dev/sdb)
2. mkdir /mnt/exthd
3. mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/exthd
4. img
5. local
6. /mnt/exthd/imagename.zmg
to use the drive on a windows box if you need to extract something from the image, use the driver from http://www.fs-driver.org/ .

Miscellaneous Novell Tips
I had some issues with stuck obituaries in my tree and etc. and I picked up this info from Novell Support.
None of this is probably new or previously unknown, but useful nevertheless.
Delete stubborn obituaries in iMonitor:
in iMonitor when you are viewing a stuck obituary, add "&op=all" to the end of the URL and hit enter. This will enable all options for advanced management of an obituary, such as deleting it.
ConsoleOne doesn't connect to the tree:
in command line, run "consoleone.exe -forcemaster". This will force consoleone to connect to your master of root server, instead of whatever bad server it is attempting to connect to.
