<content type='text'>
Now that /dev/urandom and /dev/zero can be used by all applets
there's no need to mention that dd has support for them.

Saves 32-56 bytes.

<title>dd: add support for writing to physical drives</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dab0de7dbe833a44b3e4c20fcd0044f2d878d10d</id>
<content type='text'>
A common use of 'dd' is to copy boot images to removable media.
This didn't work on Windows because opening a physical drive
failed with the default flags used by 'dd'.

If the output file is a physical drive remove incompatible flags.

Writing to a physical drive requires elevated privileges and the
drive must be offline.

Adds 80 bytes.

(GitHub issue #435)
