Hi all,

I want to copy files from /cdrom (root) to /home (user).

I am just getting messed up with it. Can anyone tell me how to copy my files
and change owner, not just locked and empty folders (why is it doing that?)



well why dont you do
sudo cp -r /cdrom/* /home/
chown -R user /home/*

or am i missing something here?


I am doing:
sudo cp -r /cdrom/paisley\ dump/Final%20DBMS.doc /home/mdl/fromBackUp/

and get:
cp: `/cdrom/paisley dump/Final%20DBMS.doc' has unknown file type

Any advice on using supermount with ubuntu. I want to automount /cdrom.

And btw has anyone been following the newbie discussion on edlug?
