Hi, I have decided to do a re-install since my kernel mishap. I can get into my existing linux installation with the installation cd #1 and 'rescue'. Once at a command prompt, I would like to copy the entire /home/bill directory to /mnt/windows and then use it to re-establish my data after a fresh install. When I try a cp /home/bill /mnt/windows I continue to get a 'omitting directory' message and only files in the root of the directory are copied. Is there a way that I can copy the entire directory and maintain the directory structure?
Also, I tried to do a cp --help but the messages scrolled off the top of the screen....what is the command to halt information a page at a time? Thanks to all for helping, Bill W.
