   Wow. Stop right there. Don't expect Kobold to handle ext2 filesystems.   
   That's what I meant by performing the copy properly. Use the shell with   
   the command "cp -au /l/* /q" so that symbolic links are correctly   
   recreated. TeraDesk or Thing may also be able to handle this finely but   
   I personally wouldn't bother.

   ext2 filesystems are case sensitive so "a" and "A" aren't the same file.
