How to copy from in linux??

i've just installed linux. trying to install packages
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/core/os/i686/core.db.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/extra/os/i686/extra.db.tar.gz
ftp://ftp.archlinux.org/community/os/i6 … .db.tar.gz
so that i can install xkfe offline as no internet connection at the mo. i have the packages on cd. put it into the linux desktop.
now just stumped onto how to copy from the cdrom drive to the destinations. im not sure where exactly to find the cdrom in the first place.
so if someone can help me with the phrase to put in to do the copy so that i can then run pacman and install these and an environment.

Your cd drive might be /dev/sr0 or /dev/sr1 or /dev/cdrom or something, you would make a folder in /mnt or /media with mkdir and mount it there via mount /dev/whatever /mnt/whatever. You just cd /mnt/whatever and then use cp on files to move them over wherever you want. "cd" = change directory.
I don't mean to be rude, but there aren't many people who can (or should try to) pull off using Arch as their first linux distribution. It is intended for people who are already well aware of what they are doing. Perhaps you should start with Ubuntu, Fedora, Suse, Mandriva, or something of the sort. Ubuntu being the most popular choice, for whatever that means..
That said, there are many on the forums who started here first and are doing fine, so "shrug". It's really about attitude, willingness to work for it (looking thoroughly for your answers before asking, especially), and willingness to learn really. Just a word of advice..
On that note, mounting cd's I'm sure is written all over google, and these forums tend to either ignore or bitch at people who haven't already looked for their question thoroughly on such, with good reason.
Also, please see the forum etiquette http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Forum_Etiquette here. It's not okay to bump your posts so quickly. There is an edit button there for a reason.
Also, why did you link to those 3 database files? db.tar.gz files do not contain actual packages, just information about them.. you would need to download a bunch of xfce packages.. db.tar.gz files wont help you. I don't see how they relate to the rest of your post, either..
Good luck..

How to Copy from Billing document F2 to Credit or Debit memo?

Hello,
I know the Menu path for copy control of billing document to billing document which is as follows
SPROIMG-Sales and Distribution-BillingBilling Documents-Maintain Copy Control of Billing document--Copy COntrol: Billing Document to Billing Document where I give the Source and the target.
Now I have a scenarion where F2 invoice has ForTrade/Customs information in the Header of F2 invoice which can be viewd through VF03->Header->ForTrade/Customs tab.
Now that inforamtion has to be transferred to CR/DR which is now not being copied although I have set the copy controls between the billing document.
So, can anyone help me by providing the information for the following questions?
1.How will I acheive the copy of Foreign trade to CR/DR from F2?
2. When I copy from F2 to CR/DR, which all information from F2 will be copied to CR/DR?
Thanks for the help.
Anupama Rao

Anupama,
The foreign trade data is copied from delivery to billing and any order doesn't contains the foreign trade data and when you create a credit memo request CR by copying F2 invoice the foreign trade data is not copied to CR and when you create a G2 invoice from CR the foreign trade data is not copied because it doesn't exists
the optimal solution for this is to keep the incompletion for foreign trade in the G2 and L2 inovices

Santosh

How to copy from an external hard drive collection to a folder on your mac?

I put 2000 images from my honeymoon on an external hard drive. I flag my favorites and work on 7 images i layter but in an collection. I am really proud of this 7 images and want to put them in my portfolio map on my laptop. BUT that seems to be impossible! I have the choice to move the files from the external hard drive or make a virtual copy! I want them in bout my external hard drive and laptop! This is turning out to be a mess. What to do now? And how to prevent this in the future?
What is the best way to manage and storage images?
If I only could copy an collection! SO FRUSTRATING.
Please help me

I am really proud of this 7 images and want to put them in my portfolio map on my laptop.
In Lightroom, select the 7 images, then use File->Export, and make sure the exported photos wind up in the desired location.
What is the best way to manage and storage images?
I would manage the photos inside of Lightroom using keywords, captions, flags, star ratings and any other Lightroom organizational tool that seems appropriate. I would then use Lightroom as the mechanism for searching for and locating and displaying whatever photos you are interested in finding. If you need copies of the photos for non-Lightroom use, as in your example of 7 images, then use File->Export.

Hard Drive Crash - How to Copy from iPOD to new computer

My hard drive crashed and is dead, with over 3000 files of songs in my iPOD library. Can I use my iPOD, which still has the library, to copy those files to a new hard drive recently installed? How? If I just synch with the new version, will I lose anything from the iPOD? (Novice here).
Thanks

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content from sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

How to copy from iPod to iTunes without having old iTunes version?

I have a first generation iPod nano. The songs on this were loaded from an old windows based desktop which has long since passed on. I want to copy the songs from this iPod into itunes on a brand new apple MacBook. Can I do this? All the forums I seem to refer to require iTunes working on the old computer, which I do not have.

How to copy from DVD

Hi.
I have a dvd which contain my friend's wedding movies. The problem is that everytime I played it on the DVD player, it gets stuck and said 'skipping damaged area'. But when I played on an actual player on the tv, everything's fine. Recently my friend asked me to edit the video so I wanted to copy the files to my hd.
But it has two different files, Audio_TS and Video_TS. In the audio file, there's no sub-files. I've tried copying both of the files but it doesn't work. And I've tried ripping it by using iSkysoft DVD Ripper, but when it's finished, the audio's missing.
How can I solve this matter? I would really appreciate the help.

Welcome to the forums!
You need to convert the VOB files in the TS-Folder of the DVD back to DV which iMovie is designed to handle. For that you need mpegStreamclip:
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/video/mpegstreamclip.html
which is free, but you must also have the Apple mpeg2 plugin :
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/mpeg2/
which is a mere $20.
Another possibility is to use DVDxDV:
http://www.dvdxdv.com/NewFolderLookSite/Products/DVDxDV.overview.htm
which costs $25.
For the benefit of others who may read this thread:
Obviously the foregoing only applies to DVDs you have made yourself, or other home-made DVDs that have been given to you. It will NOT work on copy-protected commercial DVDs, which in any case would be illegal.

BD52 Change Document Items - How to copy from one message type to another

Hi,
I have created a new messaget type for idoc MATMAS03, and has to implement change pointers for the new message type.
I will use the same fields to trigger the change as is used for message type MATMAS. My problem is that it will be a really tiresome work to manually add all the fields in BD52 (605 entries).
Is there any way that I can copy the entries from message type MATMAS to my new message type ?

Hi Barbara, I can't explain this but it seems to be working now, even with the Tiff format. I'm doing exactly what I was doing before - selecting an area on the photo, then pressing edit - copy. Before I was getting an error message, but now I can copy the selection into another Tiff. I must be doing something different or I must have changed a setting - I have no idea what, but the problem seems to have gone away. If only every problem was that simple!
The upshot is I can now edit in both Tiff and PSD and am really delighted with the help I received from this forum. I know they were very basic questions, but sometimes those are the hardest to answer.
Many thanks to everyone who responded, John

How to copy from one image to another

Hi, I'm struggling with the most basic process in PSE 10. I have selected an area in a photograph - now I want to delete the rest of that photograph and add the selected area as a layer to another photograph. Having spent hours searching online, I'm hoping someone can give me an answer please.

How to copy from one to the other

Hey guys I have an image than is not your normal image type. When I go to copy it to a blank PDF I cant. I tried using the stamp tool and it only works for copying into the existing pdf. Is there a way to copy one image to another pdf? Thanks

Adding to what Gene said, if you just want to add one image into another document, you can also use File > Place Embedded (if using Photoshop CC; believe it's just "File > Place" on CS6 or earlier).

How to copy from a damaged drive

I have an external that is failing...
Disk Util won't fix (says to reformat the drive...thanks disk util)
I am trying to copy the thousands of files over, but when it reaches a damaged file, it stops copying completely - then I need to select, drag, and drop...over and over and over.
Is there any way to get the mac to think critical - to do what ANY reasonable person might do - and that is to skip the damaged file, and keep copying the selected files? Is there any way to get the Mac to do that?
Seriously - did the programmers really think the user would want to stop each time the mac encountered a damaged file and want to re-select everything except the damaged files to copy?
It is very, very frustrating. I love the mac....but holy cow that is incredible stupid to have the copy program behave that way.
Any work around please would be very helpful and time-saving.

Thanks Niel!
Can you give a little more help?
This is what I learned.
ditto src_directory dst_directory
However, I have no idea the syntax for an external drive src_directory, or even the syntax of the local directory.
external drive is called Carisa's WD - and directory is called Carisa's comp backup. Local directory is on the desktop called carisa's comp backup.
