You actually can copy the tree from one place to another. It just depends on how you copy it. I prefer using cpio with the 'p' option: mkdir /opt/ltsp-1 cd /opt/ltsp find ./ -print | cpio -pvmud /opt/ltsp-1 That will copy all of /opt/ltsp to /opt/ltsp-1, preserving everything, including symlinks, device nodes, file access times, permissions. That's the one way that I know of that works in all the Linux/Unix environments that i've played with.
