xargs

[Marcel Grandemange]

Thank You For Help In The Past but give run into a new issue.

 

I need to copy an entire BSD installation except the /mnt directory to
/mnt/pc

 

Now ive looked everywhere on net for examples, yet all don't work.

 

What I did try do was following..

 

 

Cd /

Ls | grep -v proc | xargs cp -Rpv /mnt/pc

 

 

But ofcourse this doesn't work, what would be correct way to do this?

 

 

Thank You!
