No, DJ, what you are saying is not right. The books instructions do moves of the files and not copies. His script I believe just needs to be cp -v -a j2sdk-image/*. But why does it have to be modified anyway? sigh.... BTW, DJ, cp -a is the same as cp -dpR which copies recursively. Because a directory is specified as the source, it will always get copied, regardless whether or not a target directory exists. -- Randy rmlscsi: [GNU ld version 2.15.94.0.2 20041220] [gcc (GCC) 3.4.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.4] [Linux 2.6.10 i686] 20:14:01 up 141 days, 19:47, 3 users, load average: 1.08, 0.98, 0.62 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
