Hmm...good point. I was trying to get the dd stream non-interrupted before sending it to gzip. How about this:

gzip -1 `dd if=/dev/hda1 of=shuttlepod.hda1`

So dd send data from disk to a file, then gzip is told to use the output of dd (number of i/o's done, etc) as command line. That won't do anything useful. Perhaps dd if=/dev/hda1 bs=100k | gzip -1 > result.image.gz Lennarh Sorensen -- The Toronto Linux Users Group.
