N00B Q : How do you cp everything???
 

Like files and directories. Thanks in advance!

You mean recursively= Directory and everything in it?
cp -r source dest.
or a disk image
dd ...
man dd - cuz I can't remember.

Thanks Yan! I guess adding a little -f won't hurt either? dd? Sounds new...

dd
 

dd stands for disk duplicator <<I think

It's like rawrite in DOS.

Copies entire disk image. Didn't know how much of everything you were looking to copy..

Re: dd
 

Disk Dump
:)

yep I geuss that's right.

It has many uses. I however have only used it to copy images to disks...ie

dd if=/where/my/image/is.fs of=/dev/fd0

dusk dump infile= disk image outfile= floppy drive

if I remember correctly
