Hi! How many CDs do I need to install on a hard drive for a minimum network-based installation (i.e., all the software for a router box)? Installing all the CDs (3GB) is a tad bit too much for my file server, even on a temporary basis. Thanks! Christopher Reimer On Tue, 18 Apr 2000, Erwin de Beus wrote:

Time for a really-stupid-question<tm>:
So how *do* you get everything in one pass?
If one pass isn't possible, what would the second pass statement be?

To copy everything on the cdrom in one pass you can do the following (provided that the cdrom is mounted as /cdrom) :
cd /cdrom find . -depth -print|cpio -pdvm /your/destination/directory
This will copy all files, regardless of the filenames to the given destination directory. If you don't want to see all the filenames while running this, you can leave out the v option in the cpio command. For more info : 'man find' and 'man cpio'
Have fun,
