I am trying to build a new kernel on one machine and then move it after
compiling to the machine it will be used on. From what I have been able to
find I think all I need to do is...
finish all the builds.
copy the bzImage and System.map to the boot directory of the other computer.
copy the /lib/modules/kernel directory for that kernel to the same place of
the other computer
edit grub to boot the new kernel and restart.

Is this everything that I need or am I missing a couple of steps? Thanks.
