There are a lot of target environments that simply have no room to install
anywhere near enough stuff to rebuild a kernel. Think in terms of a CD that
installs a small version of Linux onto a 486DX66 with 16MB of RAM and 8MB
of FLASH disk to install onto. 

It *might* have a floppy drive as well. I suppose we could use that for swap
