Ok, /proc DOES NOT EXIST on your filesystem. It is what is called a "virtual filesystem". It looks like files, acts like files, but it does not actually contain files on your hard drive. /proc/kcore is the contents of the kernel's core memory. It is not real and is not taking up space on your hard drive.
Next, any file named "core" is a left over from a "segmentation fault: core dumped". You can safely remove any file name core. Perhaps you mistyped in your last message, but it should be cp <file to copy> <destination>. You did not list a destination last time. Could have been a problem. Also, if /tmp is on a full partition then that could be limiting you as well. Try moving the files over directories at a time. Like 'cp -R /usr/X11R6 /mnt/Debfiles/usr'. That may help. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
