The repeated grep -v invocations sure burn up CPU cycles, but for me its worth it to remove _most_ of the irrelevant changes. When I do this for blfs on a running system there are still occasional irrelevant changes, e.g. to /etc/ntp.drift, so use with care.

find . -xdev ! -path "./logs/*" ! -path "./home/*" ! -path "./proc/*" \ ! -path "./sources/*" ! -path "./tmp/*" ! -path "./dev/*" \ ! -path "./var/log/*" ! -path "./srv/*" \ -newer timestamp Regards, Matt. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
