I've got a machine with a removable IDE drive caddy, and it's great to do local disk installations to the caddy drive, then install the drive in another machine. Fast. The problem I've found is that when the machine I'm installing for is a weaker processor than the machine I'm doing the installation, the installation fails because the new machine can't bring up the optimized kernel. Is there a way, in expert mode, to say "install the least common denomonator kernel, regardless of the processor you see here"? If not, it'd be really keen to have. (Heck, what would be totally awesome is to have a "removable drive installation" option, where I could target _any_ type of machine, as long as I had the distribution for it, but that sounds like a lot of work :)
This can be done by creating a custom install tree containing only the kernel desired for the target system.
