Install image of dual-boot system

I have a laptop with Win XP Pro and OpenSuse 10.1. The boot loader is Grub. I have the system in a "gold" state right now, and would like to image it to make any reinstalls and distribution really easy. Also, some other folks would like to have it on theirs, since I have the software we need here in the office installed and functioning. How do I go about imaging the Linux partitions and MBR with Grub, without affecting the WinXP partition? I am not really concerned with that, other than making it boot.

Is this possible?

Thanks for any help you can provide.
