Hi list and Lynn, - well one more pro sys admin here... - the reason I didn't try to help in the first place is due to simply being afraid of giving wrong advice. - In *NIX OSses, there are usually more than one way of doing things. In your scenario, I was unsure of the correct way of doing it, mainly due to the very large amount of files (> 800) which, as noted, could cause a problem when using a simple "*". Also, the "copy dot files" is not imminently easy. - I learn all the time. - I also learned from following this thread. Best of luck! -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Med venlig hilsen/Best regards Verner Kjærsgaard Novell Certified Linux Professional 10035701 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
