cp binary cd to hd



    Hello,

I have 2 cdroms (one is a writer) and three 2.2.r3 binary disks I wanted to 
work into an nfs for a lap top I'm putzing with. I have several 5gb 
partitions on my second drive. Thought I'd just cp binary #3 disk to that 
partition. I watched as it filled the drive.

Question, how does a disk that can only hold 750mb of data fill a 5gb 
partition? :| I'm completely at a loss. It just *seemed* so simple.

tia
