No it isn't. Please don't try to do this, it's not worth it. If disk |
14 |
space is limited, just build on one box, and install the kernel to the |
15 |
other one. |

Or, put the kernel source on a cd, and build off of it (putting the |
18 |
objects on your local disk.) This lets you only use the local disk for |
19 |
your built objects. |
