7. Now using *one* command only, copy all these files and directories
into the test directory you created earlier. Creating symlinks in the
destination directory doesn't count. You must create actual files in
the test directory. One would think he could do this:
cp -a Linux*/include/* ~/td (or substitute -r for the -a)
info cp :

I didn't knew that (it's always time to learn something...)
cp -Lr Linux*/include/* ~/td does the job.
Best regards.
