Hi I looked this up and I still don't understand it.

I am following directions that tell me to do the following:

cp -a /usr/. /mnt/card

man cp tells me that -a means archive.

but what archive means I don't get. Also what does the . (dot) do?

The terminal output I get is strange as well.

cp: unable to remove `/mnt/card/./bin/[': Success
cp: unable to remove `/mnt/card/./bin/w': Success


I don't understand what cp has with removing and if it can't what is
Success?

Thanks
Aaron
