Can't copy from cdrom
Hello, I am Extremly new to Linux I am using SUSE 9
Logged in as regular user and can not copy from /media/cdrom/ I want to copy a directory and all its files but it won't let me here's what I'm trying cp /media/cdrom/utils /home/goalswish/utils I think it may be permission related I get the message cp: omitting directory '/media/cdrom/utils' I realy am stumped Thanks to anyone who can help. |
It may be possible that you need to change the user permissions to enable you do this.
Try logging on as root first typing "su" at command line then your root password and copy the files I remember having a similar problem with Vector Linux myself |
mkdir
thanks yes it works in root,I still can not make directories
example of what i'm typing mkdir /fun/time any ideas? Thank You |
