ls/cp ... : permission denied

Roadrunner · 09-07-2003, 12:16 PM

hello to anybody,

facts: ... i installed and mounted a harddisk from a different pc on my own one. From there i want to copy some pieces of data to the hdd of my pc, but still i get this: cp: ... permission denied ... .
my feeling says ... it's got something to do with the userrights ... .
So my question, i don't want to touch and change the userrights of the original data ... so what can i do?

Are you doing it as root?

yes, i do it as root .... could it be a problem, while i'm trying to move systemdata?. (libraries)

System libraries have to be in a certain place for some apps to be able to use them.

Why do you want to move them?

here we go

, i mounted a hdd, with a systempartition on a different - pc -> reason: missing libs (why ever, worked a long time fine) -> kernelpanic, every time i boot the pc ... now i want to copy missing libs from the systempartiton of the hdd from the pc, where i mounted the "false" system(partition) and copy it over .... *püh* .... my english is bad, my german much better ( lothar matthäus *g* ) ...
