It is a bad idea if a filesystem on the disk is mounted, as u might be reading stuff while the disk is being written to. But if you can make sure that the disk cache has been flushed and that nothing is trying to write at that moment, dd works fine. Of course, this will not save you any headaches during installation. -- Infinite complexity begets infinite beauty.
