Gnome screensavers

2004-07-13 Thread Mike Jeays
I am blown away by the variety of screen-savers that come with GNOME. I have been running it for about 4 months, and there are still new ones that I haven't seen before. Is there a mechanism running to download new ones automatically, that may be adding to my collection without me being aware of

Copying a directory hierarchy

2004-12-21 Thread Mike Jeays
How does on copy a complete directory hierarchy, including any hidden files? "cp -rp" leaves them out. Some versions of cp seem to have a '-a' flag which will make it copy them, but it isn't available in the FreeBSD version. Is there a trick, or something obvious I have missed? ___
