Well, this should be dead easy...and I've read the man & info pages, but I still get this problem:
I'm upgrading from 6.2 to 7.3. I have both installed and running on separate HDDs on this computer. I want to copy all of each user's files from the old system to the new. I have the new drive's home directory mounted as /mnt/new. So, I want to cp /home/user/<all files and folders> /mnt/new/user I used this command from either the /home directory or from the /home/user directory: #cp -rvp /home/user/.* /mnt/new/user and what happens is below /mnt/new/user I get all of the files (and sub-directories)being copied from the /home directory. Now I know that I'll have to run cp again to get the files that are not "dot" files, but that's not the issue. The problem is that I get all of the other user's files on the system being cp'ed into /mnt/new/user. Help, please!
