Bill, I guess what I want to do to be 100% EXACT is to be able to make a
.tgz file of _everything_ as I have it installed. But since I don't have
enough room on my BSD partition to do this I was hoping for a simple way
to dump it on to my Mac Partition as it goes.
I knew what I wanted but wasn't (am hoping this does) sure how to explain
it.
