Hmmm, the following link suggests dd will copy a smaller drive to a larger one: http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-knopx.html See "Cloning an entire drive". So, is there a dd solution for me, or not? If I can avoid my aforementioned chroot/lilo trick, that would be cool. It rather looks like I could copy my entire drive, MBR, Windows partitions and all, in one swell foop. Would I then end up with extra drive space that I could repartition, or what? Yet, you're speaking of filesystems, not drives. Evidently dd does both? O master, help me to grok dd! --Jason -- My new years resolution is 1280x1024. _______________________________________________ EUGLUG mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.euglug.org/mailman/listinfo/euglug
