Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-current@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, Is it possible to do an installworld not to / of existing system, but to, say, subdirs somewhere, which could be mountpoints for another disk? Something like: /mnt/installdir/ /mnt/installdir/compat /mnt/installdir/etc /mnt/installdir/usr /mnt/installdir/var /mnt/installdir/ The reason I'm asking is that I'm looking for a method to easily clone/upgrade a bunch of servers without having to do 'make world' on all of them. I'm not satisfied either with using dd - the machines are not identical, there are some bits and pieces of config specific to each machine. So far the best method was to do a make world, but it becomes more and more a nuisance and waste of time...
