System Map

[Gene Dascher]

Can anyone tell me concisely what the System.map file does?  I want to
compile a new kernel for my gateway, but I don't have enough disk space, and
it's a 486 (kernel compile takes a LONG time).  Can I compile the kernel and
associated modules on one machine and then transfer the new bzImage and
modules to the other machine?

Thanks,
