 Dear all,

 I have read the cp manual and I cannot find an option how to copy
 directories without files they contain. Is this possible?
 Thank you very much!


I don't get your requirement.
You'd like to copy empty directories from where to where? Is it a directory
tree or just leaves (TM, patented by me)?
(Leaves are at the same level,, below the branches, while trees contain
branches.

Wildly imagining..from a tree... or branches..

for d in `find /source/path/ -type d`; do mkdir -p /some/path/$d; done

(Untested).

 Maybe I read it wrong, but the subject and the paragraph above say two
 different things.


 Ahh... I am sorry. Wrong subject. I want to copy directories without files
 they contain.


For a directory tree, try my dose of medicine. I think it can work. It wont
set your system on fire if it doesn't:)

 see mtree(8)
 Something like
 $ mtree -dc -p path1 | mtree -U -p path2


Wow!! Looks brilliant. Several hidden swissknifes (yea, not knives)!

You could either do bdslabel -B or use sysinstall to do the same. Only you
mount the slice to /, set bootable and softupdates, then chane the mount
point to /mnt before you W to commit.
