cpio

This is a unix command, part of the GNU fileutils I believe. man cpio should tell u exactly what it does. Yes, I agree it is a better way of copying file, especially when you are attempting to copy symbolic links, where as cp will just follow the links unless told otherwise via the command. For people who aren't comfortable w/ the console.. GET COMFORABLTE!!!!
