A/UX File System Copy

[Chuck Shotton]

This verges on being a FAQ (and it's probably just a simple Unix question).
I have A/UX 2.01 on an internal 80 meg drive on a IIci, and need to move it to
an external 205 meg drive. The external drive already has an A/UX 2.0 file
system (and A/UX 2.0) in partitions that are substantially larger than those
on the 80 megger (so DD is out).

A) Can I just "rm -r *" at the root level on the external drive and copy all
the A/UX 2.01 files from the internal drive?

B) If so, what is the best way to move all the files from the internal to
the external? (I assume I have to boot off the internal drive's A/UX, and
mount the external drive's file system. How can I avoid copying the mounted
external drive over itself?)

Thanks!
Chuck
