I need to copy files from different directories in a CD-ROM to a single
directory in my hard drive.

So far, I tried with:

find /mnt/cdrom/ -name * -type f -exec cp {}
/home/BigDog/files/source/{} \;

but I get errors as this try to create 

/home/.../source//mnt/cdrom/.../filename

(yes, it tries to preserve the orignal directory structure with a double
/)

I tried the cp and mv commands, but they preserve the directory
structure of the original files (i.e.
/.../source/otherdirectory/filename)

I have thought about using tar and gzip, but as far as I have read, both
commands will keep the original directory structure.

Any idea?

TIA,

-Manuel.
