Hey there, I am working with ROS Kinetic right now. I build ROS on a ARM based unit. Is it possibly to "copy" my current ros installation, as is and move it to another ARM board? Is there a list of all folders ROS installs in? Whtat is the preferd way to target this? Thanks

It really depends on how you've installed ROS.

Can you eleborate on that? I install ros from the repository. The main folder is installed in the opt directory. But I dont know where to look up all additional installation folders apart from opt

This might not be what you're looking for, but usually when I do that I just copy the whole system using Clonezilla.

i just did the same thing a couple of weeks ago. you can use rsync on your root directory, which will do a delta copy of your files. you can also use the --delete flag to remove files in the destination that are not in the source.
