Yes, I know...
It's just more convenient (fast) for me like that:
When I recompile a small software (with make mysoft-reconfigure), I'd
like it to be fast, and de-tar-ing the whole RFS takes some time.
But, it's true that it's not the right way to do it.
(I also always forgot to sudo when I want to copy something to the
nfsroot, so, like that, the tree is mine and there's no cp problem)

Thanks for the links though !

Regards,
Richard.
