Try using cp -ax rather than tar? `man cp` for details on what that does. In the future, please try to list the exact text of the error messages you receive. The more specific you are, the better others can help you. Also, many of us much prefer it if you post in plain text rather than html. -- monique -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
