I have installed Red Hat Linux and I created a startup up disk to boot on.
Which is the way to create a second one just in case. I heared about dd.
Which is the syntax of this command to copy from disk to disk byte by byte ?
Is there a way to create it directly from Linux shell ? I would like to
mention that I tried the diskcopy DOS utility but didn't work - I received a
Windows message "illegal operation" and the details showed that there was an
"illegal" address to be copied to the disk
thank you
