yeah...if i dd...have no plans to change it around....

donno...not everybody makes a bootable cdrom for their backups...

taring does NOT copy teh boot info...so your disk is NOT yet
bootable till you run lilo onit...
        - dd sometimes works...sometimes not....
        - hate them LI and LIL- and 101010101 patterns...
        - running lilo on the back and boting it is a good bet
