If I were doing this the laborious way, I would have hidden files hidden, and drag and drop over only the visible icons. I just thought that the CLI would be better. (I was born lazy!) I am a little afraid of rsync purely because I have never used it. Maybe this is the time to start. I have noted your preference for e.g. /home/lisi/ over /home/lisi . It would clearly be a good idea to get into the same habit. Thank you, Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
