Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you don't need the disks are the same size, I mean, you can use dd to "clone" just the filesystems to files on another disk; you would use /dev/hda1 and so instead of /dev/hda... In this way you can mount the resulting files as if they were filesystems on a disk (using the loopback device). Regards: Nacho -- No book comes out of a vacuum (G.
