Hi! I got a problem here without a solution. (as usual)
I want to duplicate a debian system from one (remote) pc to a new one. So I made a cd-image on a jaz drive medium and had it send to me via normal mail. I booted the new machine with the rescue floppy and went through the install menus up to partitioning the hard disk and mounting them in /target. Then I mounted the cdrom image (as a loop device) under /cdrom. So far everything went perfectly. But then I got stuck. :-( I could not figure out how to copy the contents from /cdrom to /target. The simple "cp" on the root image couldn't do it. The simple tar "star" I didn't know how to use (is there any documentation anywhere) and trying to use the cp command on the cd-image /cdrom/bin/cp failed because the necessary libraries couldn't be found. I also tried to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable to "/lib:/cdrom/lib", but that didn't help either. I there any "correct" method to do a recursive copy in this simple state of the system? Thanks in advance, Andy. -- Andy Spiegl, University of Technology, Muenchen, Germany E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] URL: http://www.spiegl.de Finger [EMAIL PROTECTED] for my PGP key o _ _ _ --------- __o __o /\_ _ \\o (_)\__/o (_) ------- _`\<,_ _`\<,_ _>(_) (_)/<_ \_| \ _|/' \/ ------ (_)/ (_) (_)/ (_) (_) (_) (_) (_)' _\o_ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
