First, asking the same question more then once will not help your cause. As to number 3; learn to use info for some of your answers I.E. info cp will show at the end the you will get error message if the copy was _not_ successful. Every copy is verified and if _not_ successful will not complete. To compare two files use the diff command, info diff for more information. -- Ken Schneider UNIX since 1989, linux since 1994, SuSE since 1998 --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
