For the list, Appologies Daniel,

I don't understand what you're trying to achieve with that tar
command. You've told bash to load your entire hard drive into memory,
then open it as a file-name and pass it on standard input to a tar
command that will read an empty list of files, form a tar archive from
them, and pass the archive to standard output (except that tar won't
create an empty archive by default, so it'll fail with an error).
I think that what you want to do is "tar cjf / | ssh ...", but I'm
a little thrown off by your desire to use dd. Are you trying to load
a tar archive off a block device?
Daniel
My brand new laptop with windows preinstalled and the recovery
partitions, I wanted to make a disc exact archive of it so if in the
future I'd like to have a vmware or qemu instance of windows for the
kids or wife I could. After I get a copy of the info I require to
install windows Then I can quite happily blow away the whole drive and
put my Debian on it. I just can't bear to delete software that I have
paid for (First time ever :-) ).
At least with your description I can understand why it's failing :-)
Is what I want to do possible? I wanted to do the compression on the
new laptop as it's my fastest computer (The other computer that i'm
transferring to is an old celeron 300MHz baby with 2 750G drives as my
NAS).

<erno> hm. I've lost a machine.. literally _lost_. it responds to
ping, it works completely, I just can't figure out where in my
apartment it is.
