I get the impression that Meino is trying to keep it as simple as possible for the other user, so fixing after errors is not a good idea. Otherwise you could do what you suggest with the original card, shrink the filesystem and partition to fit a smaller card then create a dd image that will overflow but should work. -- Neil Bothwick RISC: Reduced Into Silly Code
