If you have only a root file system mount /dev/sd1a /mnt find / -d -x | cpio -pdmv /mnt umount /mnt The -x option to find prevents it from recursively copying /mnt If you have both root and /usr (or any other filesystems), perform additional find/cpio's on them after cpio'ing root and before umounting /mnt :) find /usr -d -x | cpio -pdmv /mnt/usr Dan -- Dan Busarow 714 443 4172 DPC Systems dan@dpcsys.com Dana Point, California 83 09 EF 59 E0 11 89 B4 8D 09 DB FD E1 DD 0C 82
