<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Guys,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks for your advice over the past couple of weeks, we’re
slowly making some good progress on tightening down our build for duplication.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am not a Linux user for my main system here, we usually build
systems from a live-cd boot. I have a compact flash card reader with just a
single slot.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I have a 2GB CF card here which is built as our ‘master’
that we’re looking to duplicate from. This card has two partitions, both
about 1GB each, the first being bootable with Voyage installed, the second
being purely for data storage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I’m looking to duplicate this card onto other CF cards
of various sizes, 2, 3 and 4GB are the most likely, however I don’t really
want to waste space on the larger disks, from my understanding of DD, after the
imaging they’ll be shrunk to 2GB, is that correct? Can I do anything to
reclaim that space once the image has been written?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Presumably, the best option would be to boot in the live-cd,
copy an img from my master and then copy that to all the destination cards one
at a time? What do I have to do as far as mounting is concerned? And am I able
to write the img into memory on the live-cd? If so, where?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I appreciate your input chaps,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
