And that's it! No more 'dd',
Well, dd is cp on steroids. There is no difference between "dd if=image.iso of=/dev/sdX" and "cp image.iso /dev/sdX" as long as no special alignment or block size is needed.
Ok...
Then I think we can go ahead and add this method to our wiki. The syntax is a bit easier than with dd. The danger is about the same, a mistake in the device name, PUFF!

Carlos, In my professional world we work with media images (an iso is a specific type of media images). To keep them manageable we often break them into segments of 2 gb or less: image.001, image.002, etc. The well known/tested restore command is cat image.* > /dev/sdx At least to me that is more natural than cp. I suggest you put cat on the wiki, but not cp. Greg -- Sent from my Android phone with K-9 Mail.
