Yes you can. You end up with slack space at the end of the partition. In other words if you dd a 10 gig drive onto a 30 gig drive, you will have what appears to be a 10 gig drive. The remaining 20 gigs will be unused. Jacques B. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
