I have installed red hat linux and I created a boot disk to boot on. How can
I create a copy of it? I tried the DOS diskcopy utility but I received an
error from Windows about an illegal address it could not be copied. Is there
a way to copy a disk byte by byte from Linux? I heared about dd. Which is
the syntax to copy from a disk to another?
                                                            thank you
