I like "cp -ax" for this task, because of its shortness. I never managed to keep those long tar lines in my mind. man cp: OPTIONS -a, --archive Preserve as much as possible of the structure and attributes of the original files in the copy. The same as -dpR. -x, --one-file-system Skip subdirectories that are on different filesys tems from the one that the copy started on. -- <a href="http://www.einblick.de/"> Frank Barknecht Das Koelner Stadt- und Unimagazin >-------------< </a> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
