This doesn't really make sense to me. I know that you can't do an
install onto a ccd (which is a source of irritation for me) but I
have a number of servers at work which I have setup or helped setup
that have all of their file systems mirrored except for /.

I'll admit it's a little laborious to setup, but it can be done.
I do a minimal install, create the ccds, copy stuff around and then
install source and the rest of the stuff that I want.

I'm unsure why you don't want to use ccd.
