I'm not sure about generating binary images, but what you can do is extract |
| 8 |
the .tbz2 build archive to a dir on your harddisk (from your current working |
| 9 |
system), chroot, and bootstrap and compile in the background. You can follow |
| 10 |
the install guide from the chroot onwards. Then, just copy the dir onto your |
| 11 |
friend's root dir and set the partition settings. |
