You might want to look at: http://wiki.dirvish.org/index.cgi?CopyingDisks I wrote that almost 3 years ago, and some things might be better now. If they are, feel free to update the wiki page. You can find some useful information by using the "search" window on the wiki. There is also good information on the mailing list, but mailman/pipermail doesn't search without a lot of tweaking that I don't know how to set up. To search all the content on the whole dirvish web site (a few days delayed), including the wiki and the mailing lists, you can use google with this search string: site:www.dirvish.org copy disks BTW, while we are on the subject of the wiki, many of our users are German speakers. If someone can suggest a good organization for a parallel set of German pages (or Dutch, or Chinese, or Sanskrit), and wants to start translating, that would be "extra sausages" for me! :-) Keith -- Keith Lofstrom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Voice (503)-520-1993 KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" Design Contracting in Bipolar and CMOS - Analog, Digital, and Scan ICs _______________________________________________ Dirvish mailing list [email protected] http://www.dirvish.org/mailman/listinfo/dirvish
