You need to be more specific. The simplest way to copy a whole directory structure is to use "cp -a [origin] [destination]"

cp -a actually worked, never used that for anything so, didnt know, btw the ex2 image for gcc will be around 80mb, ouch, but thats ok I am extending my /hdd2 to 1gig for that...

-a is for arciving and keeps permissions and timestamps intact as mell as symlinks
