Can someone please give me the exact command to copy the microdrive to a CF in the CF slot such that when I take the microdrive out and replace it with the CF all that I have will be there as though no change has taken place.
I guess it will be something like cp -R /dev/hda1 /mnt/cf but I'm not sure and I can't test it until I've swapped it out so would appreciate a concrete answer to save me trying then swapping back and forward. How shuold I partition / format it? It's a 3000 with PdaXrom. |

I would boot into DB mode and then copy from there
mkdir /mnt/hdd mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hdd tar cvf - /mnt/hdd/* | tar xvf - -C /mnt/cf |
