You could: cp -as /opt/ltsp /opt/otherltsp This will copy everything as symlinks. Then you could manually replace a few symlinks with actual files, wherever you want the differences to be. But to get those files, you might have to build another temporary chroot environment anyway so this won't really save you any time, but it'll save a few hundred megabytes I guess. -Rob ******************************************************** The information transmitted is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential and/or privileged material.
