Hello everyone,

I would like to backup my system minus some dirs.

I print to a file the files/dirs i'd like to skip

mount /dev/hda1 /boot
find /proc > /tar.test.txt
find /exports >> /tar.test.txt
tar -cvjpsPf -X /tar.test.txt / /exports/backup-full-090303.tar.bz2

But when the archive starts the specified dirs are included  :)

I hope to use this for compiling a optimised i686/athlon-xp base to be
used for my own rapid deployment.

Also I've noticed the archives in /usr/portage/distfiles/*.tbz2 or tar.bz2
I was hoping I could tar these and extract to the fresh base for a little
bandwith savings.

Jesse Jacobs.
