No it isn't. Please don't try to do this, it's not worth it. If disk space is limited, just build on one box, and install the kernel to the other one. Or, put the kernel source on a cd, and build off of it (putting the objects on your local disk.) This lets you only use the local disk for your built objects. thanks, greg k-h -- gentoo-dev@gentoo.org mailing list
