Thanks to all for suggestions. Unfortunately, I haven't had a chance to explore any of them, yet. Instead, I copped out and went with what I was most familiar by splitting the large file to <2GB chunks. With the split I only needed to change a single line in my existing script from this: wget http://${webserver}/debian.img -O - > /dev/hda1 to this: wget http://${webserver}/debian.img.0{0,1} -O - > /dev/hda1 One of the nice features of wget is that it shows a progress bar, a nice visual that shows that something is going on. With that change, Knoppix works great for cloning: insert CD, boot, run script, reboot. Takes about 10 minutes to clone.
