The easist way is to copy it from the original again and either use 'cp -a' which will preserve permissions correctly or use tar which will also preserve permissions correctly. Becarefull about overwriting /proc and /dev though as that can cause problems. eg. cp -a /old /new cd /old ; tar cf - . | (cd /new ; tar xvpf - ) Adam. ------------------------ Internet Alaska -------------------------- 4050 Lake Otis Adam Shand (v) +1 907 562 4638 Anchorage, Alaska Systems Administrator (f) +1 907 562 1677 ----------------- http://larry.earthlight.co.nz ------------------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
