The command "ls -l" shows the two files are colored blue which (I think) indicates that the files are a link to each other.
this is true.
Since I am convinced that I used the "cp" command; my question is: which mistake can I have made to create a link of the file instead of a copy of it?
may not be a mistake. "cp" is correct to usage to make a copy to a new file name. run the command "man cp" to see arguments for "cp". if you use "cp -l" it will make a link. therefore, you may have an _alias_ that is causing problem. to see if so, use the command of "alias" to see a list of your aliases. for my environment, i have; ]$ alias|grep cp alias cp='cp -i' ]$ hth. -- peace out. in a world with out fences, who needs gates. tc.hago. g . -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
