I want to copy the four distribution CD's to a server disk to share that over nfs / ftp. I executed tar cf - . | (cd /BSD/4.6; tar xvfk -) from the mounted cdrom directory. On disks 2 and folowing there are numerous files that don't get untarred (I am using the -k switch) because they contain duplicate files. So, should I copy each CD to a separate direcory, or what is the solution? Thanks, -Mike __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
