installworld to directory other than /

2003-01-22 Thread Alexey Koptsevich 

Hello,

I would like to make installworld to some directory other than /, e.g.,
to directory /new, while the old system is working. The only way to do
that which I can think of is
 - copy /, /usr and /var to /new
 - chroot /new
 - make installworld from there
Is there more easy/elegant way?

Thanks,
Alex

Simple:

# make installworld DESTDIR=/new

Cheers,
