Somebody in the thread at some point said: > Uh, "dd" won't give you a functional system. It will perform a byte- That's not my understanding... AIUI dd will work fine if he is going to a larger drive. The problem he will be left with is that the partitioning will reflect his smaller drive. If he was going from a 160GB drive to 500GB as I recall, then he should have a fully functional set of partitions extending over the first 160GB of the drive and the remaining 340GB going begging. He could go on and fix that by adding a new partition and assigning the 340GB to it, then formatting the new partition ext3 or whatever. So dd is not something that should not be considered. -Andy -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
