I have the following slightly embarrassing request  to mke of any kind
FreeBSD user who has a few minutes to spare:

I've just installed 2.2.2 on a machine with very limited disk space --
so limited that it can't rebuild the kernel.

My other FreeBSD machines run 2.1.0 and 2.1.7, so they can't easily build
a 2.2.2 kernel for the new box.  (Yeah, I should upgrade them.  No, I
can't find the time).

So -- if I supply a config file, could somebody running 2.2.2 compile a
kernel for me?

Many thanks to anyone wlling to take the time!

Richard
