for (nearly) identical hardware i use the following commands (from a live distro like knoppix)
// create compressed and splitted image dd if=/dev/sd? | gzip -c | split -b 699m - /space/for/imagefiles/image.gz. <---- don't forget that last dot // verify cat /space/for/imagefiles/image.gz.* | gzip -d | cmp - /dev/sd? // restore cat /space/for/imagefiles/image.gz.* | gzip -d | dd of=/dev/sd? this is of course os/fs independent. best regards. robert -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
