hello.. the subject sounds a bit stupid so its better i explain the issue a bit more.
I downloaded the iso but i dont want to burn a cd ..
i want to copy all in a usb stick ( im triing to make a usb bootable device).
My first attempt was to mount the iso and the device and "cp -fr", but this method dont copy hidden files, so i was thinking .. "how the hell i tell CP to copy also hidden files/directories" or "there is a tool that extract .iso formats like a simple archive" ( as you can do twith tar) ?
honestly i found a workaround using tar ( since tar put also hidden tiles in the archive)making an archive of the iso and then extract it into "usb device", but im still curious about the 2 questions.. expecially about the "cp issue" since it could come usefull again in future.
