Forensics DD RDA problems

[nina nina <n_joiner () hotpop com>]

Trying to setup RDA on a win2k machine:

1.  Use Fire CD to download and *.dd images
    a. boot.img is less than 1.44mg
    b. root.img is more than 4mg

2.  DD both images but root.img.dd is of course still large

3.  How do I get the image on a bootable floppy?
4.  Is it possible to setup rda on win2k

My ultimate objective is to use my forensics workstation and connect to 
network machines to copy images and analyze.

I've read RDA and looked for posts but to no luck, I've decided to post.

What about nc or crypcat to connect to a remote machine?
