Thanks for all the feedback.
I've seen cases where, for example, a sub-dir of /proc is a mount
point, and the mount point gets created before /proc is actually
mounted. (Some script somewhere must be doing this, because the
'mount' command executable does not.) So a missing /usr/local (mount

The trailing slash on the source directory means 'the contents of'.If
you leave the trailing slash off - it will think you want a directory call

That's the only real tricky part of

But - the rsync incantation is SO much easier to remember... and rsync is

What is the correct way to do the two renames above - is it the mv

Good points .. you're right - that would have been messy.
And actually - since these are mount points -- no rename is really necessary
-- just mount the correct device under /usr.

Yes - I've realized since this isn't a rename - it's a remount..
But SWEET! I didn't know about the --move option on the mount -- tres
cool. That will come in handy...

Hi, Frank.
I've just installed SLES11 via the ftp method here on a z/VM 5.4 system

Your problem is that all the file names are in upper-case (or perhaps that the
FTP server is reporting them that way).
I ran into a slightly different example of this problem using a Windows FTP
client to transfer the files from a physical SLES 10 DVD in my desktop to a
Linux FTP server, which
