Of course you did :) bs=2048 means that dd should read/write in blocks of 2048 bytes--should speed things up a bit since the default is too small for recent hardware conv=notrunc means "do not truncate the output file" according to the manpage, but I have no ideea what it's good for, but doesn't sound like it would affect your image :p Regards, Andrei -- Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic
