Copying was done by going to "screwed" and then:

I got that particular sequence from a neolithic version of the O'Reilly "Running Linux". Ownership is preserved, Shambolic Links are preserved, what more can you ask for? In this case I did not need either feature but that is simply the way I copy directories around. One size fits all.
