At one point I was copying test kernels out to several other systems. It is a bit 'fubar' because I have to run 'make install' and 'make modules-install' (specifying a specific target directory) to generate the files I need to copy to the test machine. Fortunately 'make install' generates everything before erroring out because it doesn't have root access.
