Building kernels on different machines [WAS: System Map]

[Duston, Hal]

Before the make modules_install is done, the module files are 
scattered all over the kernel source tree, so you would need 
to hunt them down.  That is why I complete the _entire_ process
before I pack up the output and move it.  If you are not using 
modules, you are correct, and that is not an issue.  Although 
make install does require you to have at least a skeletal 
kernel tree.  On my other boxes, I have absolutely no kernel 
tree present.  (Aside from /usr/src/linux/include of course.)
