O.K thanx
Just another question.
I have a /boot partition and if I dd it onto a stiffy will it fit?
My biggest problem here is it must go to a machine that had it's mbr
overwritten by doze
and I need to have a quick solution if it happenes again.So will it not
freak out if I put it on another machine and it tries to boot compressed
kernel wich is in boot?
I actually found an answer and fixed it so this is of purely academical
interest.

Cheers
