I need to come up with a strategy for getting a basic system onto my new box that will then allow me to compile a new kernel with the required bits in it.
Is is necesary to compile the kernel on the actual system itself? I would have thought it would be possible to compile the necessary modules on another system and just copy and modprobe them on your new one.
But I'd need a full installation of the (new to me) distribution to do the build, I don't think it would be that easy to build a module on (for example) Slackware and use it on Suse would it?
