Why would that require ntfs support? And even if you did want to mount that partition, you could easily include the ntfs module in the initrd. On a Debian system you can force including a module in the initrd by adding it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules . Slightly more efficiant (and maybe more portable) than dd would be to use partimage. Partimage backs up only the blocks from a partition that contain useful information. partimage 0.6.7 which I have on my system (Debian Lenny) lists NTFS partition support as "experimental" in its README. And if you want to create your own: CD/USB http://wiki.debian.org/DebianLive You can use that to either customize the initrd or create an initrd with your custom kernel. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
