Me too.  I figured a screen grab pre-boot would be difficult.  Easier
to floppy or USB boot and copy the image from flash.

Console access is the security hole.  If you meet someone who can

either:

 - hire them
 - run and dodge the bullets
 - bow in homage

P.S.
I love the idea of hiding it in Glenda....
