Hey there!
i got a tiny problem, and I'm not a dev at all I only do some modification by my side. I would overwrite a file from /home/user/MyDocs/ to /home/user/.config/ I have used the cp command line but terminal say that the files already exist, what I know^^.
i can't find out which is the good command line.


Thank's a lot for your help.

never tried from terminal but with filebox root you need openkernel to do that

Why you trying to use root for actions don't require it?

Because I know anything about developing or modifying, I only follow tutorial from talk maemo and everywhere learn some stuff but i'm only end user. I thought to overwrite file in user/ root access were needed that's all.
