Ok.  I have done
	cd /usr/src
 	cd etc; make DESTDIR=/mnt distrib-dirs ; cd ..
	DESTDIR=/mnt
	export DESTDIR
	make includes && make install

The install still dies in share/dict
install -c -o bin -g bin  -m 444 README /mnt/usr/share/README
install -c -o bin -g bin  -m 444 propernames /mnt/usr/share/propernames
install -c -o bin -g bin  -m 444 web2 /mnt/usr/share/web2
install -c -o bin -g bin  -m 444 web2a /mnt/usr/share/web2a
/mnt/usr/share/dict/words ->  /mnt/usr/share/dict/web2
ln: /mnt/usr/share/dict/web2: No such file or directory

Also, make DESTDIR=/mnt includes, puts all the .h files into the include
directory, but the make DESTDIR=/mnt install seems to put all the .h files
into the root directory in addition.

The list that I got from there was just fstab.[rs]d.

I am looking for files and file content format for systems so that the
system will be configured correctly.

Does NetBSD not do GP*?
