Fastest would be to just plop both drives in the same box and dd from hda to hdc. If that's not an option, your solution with dd+nc is how I'd probably do it. I don't see how a simple raw-copy of the data would result in a 'dog slow' machine. Something else must be awry on the target machine. -- Respectfully, Nicholas Leippe Sales Team Automation, LLC 1335 West 1650 North, Suite C Springville, UT 84663 +1 801.853.4090 http://www.salesteamautomation.com .===================================. | This has been a P.L.U.G. mailing. | | Don't Fear the Penguin. | | IRC: #utah at irc.freenode.net | `==================================='
