Hi folk,

I have DSL2.2b running on partition-5 (/dev/hd5/) of a HD.  It is
working there without problem.  I need to clone it on /dev/sda1 of a
pendrive.  /dev/sda1 has 800MB in capacity, sufficient to take up
DSL2.2b.  

I can't use "dd" command because of unequal size.  So after mounting
both devices I ran;

# cp -aR /mnt/hda5/* /mnt/sda1/
........
........
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttyw6': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttyw7': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttyw8': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttyw9': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywa': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywb': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywc': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywd': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywe': Operation not
permitted
cp: cannot create special file `/mnt/sda1/dev/ttywf': Operation not
permitted
...
 * * * end * * *

Still failed.  I have to force-stop the process.  

Is there a way to do the job.  If YES, Please advise what command line
shall I use?  TIA

Remark: the DSL on /dev/hda5 was not running.  I ran a LiveCD to do the
job

B.R.
