I have used dd in BL3 to make a swapfile.  Thanks.
WOuld this copy linux between drives faster than cp -a * ?

We have about 10 extra 166-233MHz computers that I would rather share than 
recycle.  I offered one free to the local freecycle group with linux and 
Opera but the two people who responded want computers for their kids to 
use for school. We have a bunch of 340 and 500MB drives.  Does Win98 have 
an equivalent of Xvesa?  Some Trident PCI cards work, some don't, same 
driver.  (They all work in linux with Xvesa).

I hate Windows (TM) but this will be less painful than install from CD.
