SIggy,
Your memory is entirely correct.
No, it is not sstriped as it is not a raid. Only a simple LVM as  I 
thought - few years ago - that is was handy. It is not.
Well, I think the only option is to make some room, hijack from another 
system a keyboard and screen, and transfer the whole thing with ssh. I 
don't think I can do dd over an ssh link?as that's the fastest way.

I'm very familiar with CLI and SSH is a logical choice. Although I have 
an external drive and thought already to use that as a go between
I think the above mentioned option is faster.

Yes, the trick with the USB-stick was somewhat risky but I trust ubuntu 
a zillion times more than any MS shit and it was worth while to see 
these faces!.
Thanks again,
Joep
