Of course Domino runs on Linux! But that doesn't mean
that you can just install a domino in Linux, and use
as a domino server in a mission without any
authorization.

It�s not the technical things that hinder progress.
You should know what I mean.

And, It doesn't mean that they supported and funded
Linux events and etc, that, they have deployed linux
based on very critical missions (matter of life and
death!) where exchange of information is critical to
the survival of lives of so many people. Maybe its
because they fear something they still don't
understand to don't have enough engineer to understand
(most of my co workers here are M$ centric and are
clueless in linux :-) ).

Anyway, thanks to those who answered. Thank you
Tee-jay. Thanks to your eight year old compilation of
bookmarks. And previous answer given by Fooler.
finally found it to be somewhat the same.

[ANSWER TO HARDDISK IMAGE EXTRACTION ON A PC USING
LIVE CD. FOR FUTURE REFERENCE OF OTHERS IN THE LIST:]

dd if=/dev/hda1 bs=1k conv=sync,noerror | gzip -c |
ssh -c blowfish [EMAIL PROTECTED] "dd of=filename.gz
bs=1k" 


This instructs dd to read the contents of /dev/hda1
(the first partition). conv=sync,noerror tells dd that
if it can't read a block due to a read error, then it
should at least write something to its output of the
correct length. Even if your hard disk exhibits no
errors, remember that dd will read every single block,
including any blocks which the OS avoids using because
it has marked them as bad. So don't be too surprised
if dd seems to struggle to read some blocks. 
bs=1k sets the block size to be 1k. I'm not quite sure
what the optimal value is, but it needs to be no
larger the the block size for the disk, otherwise a
bad block may mask the contents of a good one. 1k is a
safe bet. 
In the above example the output of dd is piped through
gzip to compress it. We then pipe the compressed data
stream over an ssh connection to another linux machine
(which may also be running Knoppix - see Knoppix notes
below). If you wanted to write straight to a local
file, you could either just add of=filename to the
first dd command (to write an uncompressed image), or
if you want to compress it, just redirect the output
of the gzip to a filename. 
Continuing with our explanation, the -c blowfish
option to ssh selects blowfish encryption which is
much faster (useful since we're sending tons of data)
than the default. Finally another dd command is
invoked on the remote machine to read the data stream
and write it to a file there. Alternatively you could
pipe it through gunzip -c and write it straight to a
partition on the remote machine instead of to a file.
