Clean 10.3 + Dev Tools + Updates file listing
Okay, just for mitts and giggles, I did a 'find / -name \\* > file' immediately after installing 10.3, dev tools, and all available updates on a freshly formatted disk.
11.3MB of text. Woah.
I trimmed it down to 112kB by coalescing everything under foo.app, for instance, to just the .app line. Ditto for frameworks, etc.
Why would I go through this insanity? Because now I have a durned spiffy exclude list for incremental backups. I can add files to /Library willynilly, installers can add to /usr/local, etc, etc, etc and anything not in this list will get backed up by, say, rsync. Neat, huh?
Here's a link to it for anyone that wants it... There were some cases where I exposed lower level files just because they looked interesting and I wanted to note them (check out some of the stuff in System for instance). If this file is used for exclusion, these exposed items won't make a difference... but there were some specific items that I wanted to make for *inclusion*, those are prefixed with a +. (For instance, all of /System could be exlucded by just saying '/System', but I exposed a lot of items of interest.)

It gives you a list of what you don't have to back-up.
