If you've got NFS, you can of course already use your desktop machine to compile it anyway. I'm doing this all day with my old 386/40 scratchbox's kernel. Simply NFS-export /usr/src/sys on the client. The kernel build is mostly self-contained, so it's fairly version independant. config(8) is much more version dependant, so run it on the notebook, not on the desktop box. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
