Hi, I build kernel and userland (out of SVN) and install in on an USB key mounted as /mnt this way: # cd /usr/src ... # make installworld DESTDIR=/mnt # make installkernel DESTDIR=/mnt KERNCONF=GENERIC INSTALL_NODEBUG=t # make distrib-dirs DESTDIR=/mnt # make distribution DESTDIR=/mnt To use the (booted) USB key later to install other laptops or netbooks I enrich the key with /usr/src and /usr/obj as: # cd /usr # cp -Rp src /mnt/usr # cp -Rp obj /mnt/usr Having done this I can use the key just to install the system on the laptop with the above DESTDIR=/mnt wherein /mnt is now the target root of the laptop; all this works just fine; my problem is that the both 'cp -Rp ...' commands takes many hours (12 and six hours) because they are transferring a lot(!!!) of small files; I have had a look into /usr/obj and it seems that after 'makeworld' and 'makekernel' there are left over a lot of temporary files from the build processes... is there a clean way to remove those files before 'cp -Rp obj /mnt/usr' while the result is still useful for another make install with DESTDIR=/mnt ?
