Is that enough?

I think of buying a Prolinat 1600 server but was unsure because of the
required ida driver. I thought that I had to do a "make release" with
the whole shebang (get the CVS tree, free 1.5 GB hd space, wait 10-15
hours for the build ...)

Now, if I could make a custom kernel (3.4 RELEASE), copy it over the
generic one in kern.flp and do an install from CD that would be much
easier! (Yes, I realize, that the kernel on HD will be without ida
driver.)

Comments?
