I've been trying to copy the contents of a partition (source) to another partition (destination) that has a large number
of files that need to be overwritten. The command I've tried is:
# cp -apRv source/* /destination/
The command works but it requires that I manually respond 'yes' for each overwrite. I thought that the r or R option
would do an automatic overwrite but apparently it doesn't.
What should the option be to do automatic overwrites with the ' cp ' command?
add --reply=yes (it's in the man page).

I wasn't aware that there was such a command in man.
The story is I installed a new hard drive for a friend and installed Windows 98 and used the old hard drive
Win98 as a source and copied the entire old Win98 partition to the new Win98 partition. I installed KNOPPIX in
the new drive and used it to do the copy. My friend now is now becoming a Debian fan..
Thank you Roberto has KNOPPIX in his new hard drive
