Re: [SLE] Possibly defective Linux Magazine Suse 10.1 DVD

Thanks for the help. The YaST verify did it. It convinced them to send me a
replacement.

I received the Suse 10.1 DVD with a Linux Magazine recently, and upon

When I reported this to the magazine, I got a message explaining the the
problem is usually related to the installation, not the media. She
(Olga) made no reference to the three "error reading" sectors I cited by
number.

In any event, she suggested that I copy all of the files to my hard
drive. If I were in 4DOS, no problem. No so in linux. Can someone give
the the command line to copy all of the files, including in directories,
hidden, and whatever, so I have all of the files on the hard disk. I
prefer the command line, so when I get to a bad sector, I will get an
error, which I can refer to Olga.

Tia,

in yast (boot the dvd) there is an "verify media" option. use it
