I have a UNIX sort of question. After I copied my failing system to
the new drive, I have three aliases of folders sitting on my new
system. They are: etc, temp and var. I understand that there are
certain files an directories that are hidden in the Finder. Much
like seeing a Temporary Items folder and a Desktop Folder on a storage
partition. But I am seeing etc, temp and var when I boot from the
cloned partition.
Am I supposed to do something with those folders. Or, should I just
move them to the trash?

Could be that you don't have ownership of those files.
Check the ownership and change it then see if you can make the copy.
