partial finds

[Robert E. Stampfli]

Is there anyway to execute a "find" command while explicitly excluding
the search of certain branches?  For instance, suppose I want to visit
each file in an entire Unix system except for those in /u or /usr/src.  I have
not found any combination of "! -name /u -a ! -name /usr/src" that worked.
Of course, I could pipe the results thru grep, but that would be an expensive
waste of time if /u and /usr/src contained many files and directories.

Anyone have a solution?
