Got a quick question:

Say I have a disk mounted at /mnt, and I want to 'make world' from
/usr/src so that the whole directory tree gets put on /mnt. Then
later I can take this disk to some other machine, boot off of it,
mount it as /, etc.

It looks like setting DESTDIR is the thing to do. However, I'm uncertain
exactly how to do this. Could somebody give me a quick primer on this?
Just don't want to nuke my filesystem.

Thanks,
-Archie
