Thanks - there had to be a way. I'll look into it. For the moment I've simply shifted that task over to the P3+. It seems quicker to do the 'dd' on the faster processor and onto a local disk, and then rsync it onto the Zero W. Compressing it seems like a sensible extra step, but zstd doesn't seem to be available in the piCore or piCorePlayer repositories. From the command you've quoted, it seems to replace dd - is that right? For now I've minimised the wasted image space by shrinking the partitions to the minimum required. The image is 1GB. FSArchiver does look like a better way of doing it - but wouldn't you know it, no sign of it in the piCore or piCorePlayer repositories. There are apparently static binaries available, but I can't immediately see one suitable for the Zero W. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=110496 _______________________________________________ ripping mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/ripping
