[ale] OT: Mac question

[Greg Freemyer]

Thanks, but unfortunately I don't want to install any software in this case.

I am making dd copy of the boot drive to an externally connected usb
drive and I just wanted to be able to check the progress by doing an
ls on the target.

It has been 3 1/2 hours now which seems way too slow.  I think I'm
going to cntrl-C the job.

Then boot the Mac into Firewire target mode and do my work from a
Linux box with a firewire connection.
