Hi All,
Just been using knoppix 5.1 to try to get some stuff off a laptop before
reinstalling/repairing windows. Booted up fine and found the documents
and settings/xxx user/ folder and put in a memory stick to copy to.
Unfortunately when I marked the contents of the folder and copied, then
pasted onto the stick it seemed to take an age going through the folders
before even starting the copy. After a while I brought up a console and
cd'd to the correct folder //media/hda2/etc..
I wanted to just copy the entire contents including subfolders to the
stick with (I think):
cp -R *.* //media/sda1
Trouble is this only copied the main folder and not the subfolders. The
help said -R or -r was recursive but didn't seem to work.
I'm sure it's an easy one for you guys :-)
The laptop has now run out of battery and waiting for the lead to come
in tomorrow so I can have another go.
TIA
Peter
