Subject:   Building 2.2.7 on a 3.0-CURRENT system?

Hi All,

I have a fast 3.0-CURRENT system, and I need to build a 2.2.7-RELEASE, in
order to muck around with the boot & fixit floppies...

Can I get away doing this by copying the whole 2.2.7-RELEASE
(/usr/src) source tree to a volume on the fast machine, e.g.

/usr2/2.2.7-RELEASE

And then running:

cd /usr2/2.2.7-RELEASE
make buildworld

Are there any hardcoded paths in there that are going to screw up? - or is
it generally 'not a good idea' to try building 2.2.X sources on 3.0
systems? (I'm worried about it finding / using 3.0 libs etc?)

Any info greatly appreciated,

Karl
