The /boot/* stuff would be needed and /lib/modules, but I think thats

Whats the worst that could happen ;)
Cheers & a happy Sunday to you,
Happy sunday to you too, and good luck if you try it :)

Humm...I don't know what the worst is that could happen. Probably
nothing bad and it really wouldn't be that difficult to try. However,
let's say I do it and it works, or I do it and it doesn't work. At
that point what have I learned and how would it help me?
I'm not against trying - I'm just not sure where it's leading? Toward
a compiler issue? Toward a glibc issue? Something else?
It would be funny to end up running Gentoo but *having* to build my
kernels on a Fedora box! ;-)
