@Arie

Thank you! So this should automatically back up my orig files then and I could copy via USB to a safe folder, correct? Sorry for such a stupid question. I just want to make sure I don't falter :)

Re: How-to Speed Up the N9's Transitions
 

Before you transfer the file to your mass storage, try and make a copy of it, if it successfully went through, you will see a /usr folder in your MyDocs.

Arie, ok.. got it. Will do it now. Much appreciated :)

Re: How-to Speed Up the N9's Transitions
 

Ok I just did this:

cp /usr /home/user/MyDocs
and I got a reply:
"omitting directory '/usr'

Is that it? :)

Re: How-to Speed Up the N9's Transitions
 

No, I've never actually copied it, so I am taking shots in the dark here, lol....

try cp -R /usr /home/user/MyDocs, see if that works

Re: How-to Speed Up the N9's Transitions
 

it does? I assume there is nothing to remove, and no -R doesn't remove the copied folder.

Re: How-to Speed Up the N9's Transitions
 

No usr directory was copied in the root with the first command.

Doing the second command, cp -R /usr /home/user/MyDocs

gave this:

'can't stat ' - ' : So such fiile or directory'
'cant stat ' R " : no such file or directory'

Oh well, I'll just go ahead and copy F2thaK's files instead...

I just thought that was what the R did...

F2thaK

cp /usr/ /home/user/MyDocs/

showed cp [OPTIONS] SOURCE DEST

Re: How-to Speed Up the N9's Transitions
 

cp -R is copy recursive, not copy and remove, a bit of googling helped, but I could be wrong.
