capacity with no additional assurances that the

lifetime. Mind you the plastic will be long after

disks (compact flash) would be the ultimate install

the usb ones which at the time weren't bootable.

oh come on... we all know the ultimate was "disk-On-Chip" (i have a few lying
around here somewhere :D)


 CB>> DD never barfed on anything
 MK> I've seen it bog down on some bad CD/DVDs to the point of having to kill
the process. If you allow it to, dd will try for

yea you and me both LOL

 MK> file -b /usr/bin/dd
