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...
