:The only reason why I say this is the fact that many would like to use BSD flavors as home routers with transfer rate limiting, and regular lines don't require a too powerful computer, an 586 or 686 will do (we were NATing 10Mbit with a PI-133 and 48M EDO RAM.) On these machines, kernel building takes hours.

    Well... you do the build on a faster machine and copy the binary?

    Yes.  It should theoretically only require the sources tar'd up on the CD
    to build a new kernel.  That is one of the things that we have to test
    for this release... can you unpack the sources stored on the ISO in a
    chroot'd environment and actually build the kernel without the rest of
    /usr/src ?  Inquiring minds want to know!
