Re: installing DFly over third partition

[Matthew Dillon <dillon@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

    Just as a side note here, anyone trying to install DragonFly
    onto a machine with other partitions should ALWAYS do a full
    backup of their disk, bit-for-bit, since clearly it is possible
    to accidently wipe other partitions during the install.

    One easy way to do this would be to purchase an external USB hard
    drive (preferably usb2.0) large enough to hold the data, boot the
    DragonFly CD, and (carefully) use dd to make a bit-for-bit copy
    to the external drive.
