[Gllug] Compiling in a different computer

[Formi]

 So, nothing fancy then, just normal kernel compiling procedure.

 I have done that dozens of times ...

 May I apologize for asking a stupid, already known answer question...

 I will punish myself, I will risk a BSD tonight.

 Thank you for remembering me how smart I am.

 		Formi.

 P.D.: Or make mrproper...

  If you want to kill a red ant hidden between millions of black ones,
  just get a napalm bomb able to cremate an area of about 3.1415 km2
  , oh! and do use it.

  If you manage to fail killing it, it is because you work for the U$,
  or maybe the UK goverment.

  ::WARNING:: IRONY

  If you are so pathetic, yes you are,
  that you don't see why you have to use such a logical method,
  do go to the Pentagon and ask the guys in the funny clothes.
  Do not be extremely careful, though.


  Formi comes from A Formiga, the name of my village,
  Formiga in the tongue of the land means ant.
  And my preferite color is red.


                                           RED Formi.
