Yep, I've done this many times before. And the other
poster's suggestion that I add in hardware options, compile,
then slowly remove components that I don't need is an
approach that I've also tried. I have a faster machine now,
but still each compile takes at least 20 minutes. I ran out
of patience for the process long ago.
I wonder if Linus has some speedy way of getting this done.
