I used to have problems using dd to copy an image because if the new card isn't identical to the old one (eg the new card is a few bytes smaller), then the dd fails. I now use Etcher (see https://etcher.io/[1] ) to copy images to and from SD Cards and haven't seen any problems recently (the first release was a bit buggy, but it gets regular updates). -- Terry Coles -- Next meeting: Bournemouth, Tuesday, 2017-01-03 20:00 Meets, Mailing list, IRC, LinkedIn, ... http://dorset.lug.org.uk/ New thread: mailto:[email protected] / CHECK IF YOU'RE REPLYING Reporting bugs well: http://goo.gl/4Xue / TO THE LIST OR THE AUTHOR
