it doesn't really matter. if you have fast media and memory to spare, then setting the size higher will speed up the process. but any blocksize will do. it's the amount of data that dd treats as a chunk, and dd will copy chunk-wise, not byte-wise. -- martin; (greetings from the heart of the sun.) \____ echo mailto: !#^."<*>"|tr "<*> mailto:"; [EMAIL PROTECTED] de gustibus non est disputandum.
