That's how I cloned my X32, with the 1 bootable CD and the 1
DVD produced by the recovery system.

Then, knowing that I had the OS backed up on the original
HD (aside from the two disks mentioned above), I erased the 
recovery partition (using a free *nix, AFAIR) and turned it 
into a FAT32 partition where my ancient DOS apps are happiest.
