Hello...

I do this lastweek:

Mount new partition
	mount -t ext2 /dev/hdd2 /mnt

List a directory
	find /bin -depth > file.bin

Copy
	cpio -p -v -d -u /mnt < file.bin

Doing find / -depth > file and cpio -p -v -d -u /mnt < file seems not work at 
all: I get file /mnt/bin/bash : data.

Sorry for the bad english.
