    Simple question... I have a server with kernel sources
    for various 2.6 kernels... It's an AMD64 processor, and hence
    runs in x86_64 mode.

    I'd like to build a "driver disk" for bringing up FC3 or FC4 on
    another box that's an i386 box.

    Couple of questions:

    (1) how does one cross-compile kernel modules? (i.e. build i386
    code on an x86_64 processor)

    (2) how do you build a compact flash filesystem to boot from with
    a ks.cfg file, some extra drivers, etc. to use in addition to the FC3-i386
    DVD?

    Thanks,

    -Philip
