I just compiled the kernel on my EISA test machine,
(I'm working on the bustek 74x scsi driver)
and it took 11 minutes including the mkdepend!

I am considering making this machine available on the net 
for people to use to make their kernels if they don't have enough
room on their own machines,
(basically, just hooking it up OUTSIDE our firewall rather than
INSIDE it). I wasn't expecting it to be such a flier though!
(I might just keep it for myself, and put the 386 out there)
