mention of -rsrcFork option

Yes, the ditto command with -rsrcFork works very nicely. It seems to handle symbolic links as well as directory recursion and hidden file/folder structures.

On the other hand, the CpMac command chokes on HFS aliases and symbolic links. I haven't tried to make a bootable OS X disk yet using the ditto command but it seems promising.

How does command work? I've tried using this to copy my user directory over to a firewire hard drive. Instead of copying over to the firewire drive, it makes a duplicate of my user directory, inside my user directory.

-Thanks

Need help

Okay, so I tried this again, and now it said that it made a copy, but mot to the destination volume. I believe that it has made a copy and placed it somewhere on my HD, because because 1.5GB lighter. Problem is I haven't a clue where it could have placed it one my HD. I've tried Sherlock, but it can't find a thing either.

----HELP----

Thanks
