This may have been in someone's previous email, but ...
The dd command in a Linux/UNIX OS is used to do direct dumps from one
device (or file) to another. It is an excellent tool to create a disk
image or to make a disk from an image. cd to the directory where the
.img file resides. In Linux, the command is invoked as follows: (For
copying the .img file to floppy.)
dd if=filename.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1440k
The command info dd displays some good info about dd. You enter q to
quit the info program. You enter info info for help on the info program.
>info dd <ENTER>
>info info <ENTER>
