I'm experiencing problems with the last command to copy the "." files. Apparently, ".." is also being copied, and I see the rest of my /pub directory copying into my destination folder. How can I remove ".." from being copied? Is there a better command for what I'm trying to do?
`cp -av /cdrom/. /pub/linux/suse/6.3/all` should do it.
This would copy all the dot-files without a wildcard symbol? Either cp is lot more intelligent than I'm willing to grant it, or my wildcard skills from my DOS days stink. :) Thanks!
