*snip shell script*
When I am building or installing a kernel and/or world, I use a shell
script[1] I wrote awhile back. It could be better ("automatic" option
probably does not work and should be removed), but it makes building and
installing easier for me.
I wonder how many build scripts have been written over the years.
