[Techtalk] Compiling the kernel on a separate machine

[Hans Tegnerud]

I'm about to recompile a 2.2.12 kernel (adding support for IPSec
masquerading). Up until today I've always compiled kernels on the machine on
which it's supposed to be used. Now, the machine is my 120MHz Pentium
firewall, and rather than letting it work all night I thought I'd use my
1,6GHz machine for that...

Those of you who has done this before... how'd you go about?
Obviously 'make install' is to be avoided :)

Can I just compile my patched 2.2.12 kernel on my 2.4-based RedHat 7.2
machine? No incompatibilities with header files etc?
How will I know I get everything I need (kernel, modules...) over to my
firewall after compilation?
