a real basic question. how can i copy a file in linux so that i ginore/don't

google/help/man pages indicate that cp without the "-i" should work. when i
use:
cp foo.dat foo1.dat i still get the prompt if foo1.dat exists.
That's because by default, .bashrc will alias 'cp -i' to 'cp' - so
you'd have to undo that before it works the way you want it to. Edit your
.bashrc file and get rid of the alias.
Or just use "unalias cp" to make it effective only for the running shell.
