Well... you do the build on a faster machine and copy the binary?
that requires some other dfly machine, does it not?

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!
