please advise.
Hello there.
In my case, i am using mkcdrec ( Make CD-ROM Recovery ). This will make an exact replica of any linux box system and with your requirement it can exclude any directory you may want to exclude during the process in its Config.sh . Try looking it at http://www.freshmeat.net . It works for me :-)
