Re: Help with Kernel Build Installer and Rescue CD
I have a live CD for it and Ubuntu, but I am not impressed when comparing to just the shell. One reason I am building this. Let me try what Tshar said. I think it will not be of use since all the modules that I see are built already. Building up lilo/ grub for make install. Tushar: What steps after this? I still see a lot of things missing.

Re: Cross Compiling a different architechture
