rc Kernel are another matter. For the moment, I haven't found the

Been there, done that, got the t-shirt ;)

This is why I'm trying to get my build server done for which I want to
automate builds of LFS-SVN for these computers:

1-: my laptop.
2-: the linux vm at linode.
3-: the build server.
4-: samples images to be installed on usb keys or dvd as a current
replacement for systemrescuecd. these images will be published on my
linode and available for download.
