The following example uses cp to copy a single file from the /cdrom/solstice_sysmgt_2_3 directory into the system's working directory (denoted by the ".").
$ cp /cdrom/solstice_sysmgt_2_3/README . $ ls -l -r--r--r-- 1 pmorph users 4618 May 9 08:09 README |
Note that when a file or directory is copied from a CD into your file system, you become its owner, but it retains the permissions it had on the CD:
-r--r--r--
To overwrite it, you'll need to change the permissions with the chmod command. See Chapter 51, Securing Files (Tasks) for more information on using the chmod command.
