Well, we do suggest in the top-level README to use bs=1024. But the Install Manual is lagging; I've changed it in the Install Manual as well and mark this bug as closable in the next version. I had a thinkpad 3520 I think which I got rid of but I don't think I had this problem. Sorry my previous reply ignored your followup. -- .....Adam Di Carlo....adam@onShore.com.....<URL:http://www.onShore.com/>
