dd performs a bit-by-bit copy. So the second drive will be an exact duplicate as the first including. You should be able to pull it out of the machine, plunk it into a second and boot. If you want to redirect to another machine, then you'll want to pipe dd to netcat. There's an excellent howto for that here: http://www.rajeevnet.com/tips_hints/os_clone/os_cloning.html Alternatively, you can create an iso of the partition you want to copy and export that however you like: ie. mkisofs -o filename.iso -J /partion/path Ian _______________________________________________ Seawolf-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/seawolf-list
