Now that I've got my HD driver basically working and my HD partitioned
properly I'd like to load it up with Minix stuff.

How do I copy dir's and files (to my HD) while preserving the UID, accesses,
mod time, etc...?

cp won't do it, cpdir won't do it, tar won't do it, etc...
(and I don't want to do it by hand! chmod, chown, etc...)

Does anyone have a CPIO working on Minix? (Please Email)

Maybe I'll look into porting afio or pax to Minix...

car.
