   Hi,

   Is there a package providing GNU cp? I can't find one, which is strange given that I found mv, ls, etc. in coreutils-*.

   Thanks.

   [quote]Previously these utilities were offered as three individual sets of GNU utilities, Fileutils, Shellutils, and Textutils. Those three have been combined into a single set of utilities called Coreutils. [/quote]

   (Also, it is usually a 'built-in' command of your shell.)

   Then what?

   "usually"? In a "raw" Slitaz cp, like many other tools, is a link to busybox. I found GNU versions of nearly all tools but not of cp, hence my question. Also, the default shell is bash, which has no cp builtin.

   Take a look through man bash for builtin commands.

   (Yes SliTaz uses busybox for its base utilities)

   @Pascal: great news, thanks! Will this change make its way to the 4.0 repository?

   @fatmac: as I stated previously, bash has no cp builtin (there are no file util builtins in fact).
