I modified the spaces to actually work on that last line....(space b/w
dd_if=...,      _of=...,    disc#_bs1m)

________code_____________

mbp:~ Brandon$ sudo dd 
if=/Users/Brandon/Downloads/ubuntu-10.04-netbook-i386.dmg of=/dev/disc1 bs=1m
Password:
dd: /dev/disc1: Operation not supported

...that is... until it hits another part of the code saying that the
output (write-to) folder is a drive and it cannot do this.

I investigated on Wikipedia...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29   ....

and learned that this program (dd) can do many types of (batch) 
moving/copying/converting/writing/archiving.
it can take input as 'if=/dev/disc1' or whatever and output a copy of the disc 
to image or dmg or iso but i don't think it can output and write to the 
unmounted drive. i'm going to try and do it mounted.
