not that it matters much or that i'd care much about it, and regardless of any technical differences between copying by dd or by cp.. but 'cp' in this case has always had some misleading taste to me.. making inexperienced users wrongly think that they copy the image to the device filesystem preserving its other content, rather than overwriting the device with the content of the image. -- Address: Daniel Baumann, Donnerbuehlweg 3, CH-3012 Bern Email: [email protected] Internet: http://people.progress-technologies.net/~daniel.baumann/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
