What's wrong (besides the stupidity of using a floppy...):
Insert an empty floppy # cd /tmp # mkdir foo # echo aap >foo/aa-test-1.xml # mcopy -s foo a: # mount -t msdos -o -l /dev/fd0c /mnt # mkdir bar # cp -R /mnt/foo bar cp: /mnt/foo/aa-test-1.xml: No such file or directory Or for cut&pasting from this e-mail: cd /tmp mkdir foo echo aap >foo/aa-test-1.xml mcopy -s foo a: mount -t msdos -o -l /dev/fd0c /mnt mkdir bar cp -R /mnt/foo bar to clean things up before a rerun of the "proof of concept": rm -rd /tmp/bar /tmp/foo mdeltree a:foo +++chefren
