Re: Clone a bootable USB key
Hi Adrian, Indeed this is working. ( Test it with 2 identical USB-keys) But I think this is not a solution because the target usb is not the same size and make. Thats why I copied the files and the MBR separately.( forgot to mention this ) What I am trying to do: I would like to make a copy of my USB-key to one or more files, send the files to a friend and he has to dd / copy this file to his USB-Key, and I was hoping this should work.

Re: Why no Skype packages?
The problem is that a lot of windoze users are using Skype.
