Is there a way to "multicast" make modules_install? I.e. if I have Debian
and SourceMage GNU/Linux on my home machine, but only want to maintain a
single kernel and give it specific root= on boot, I run into problems
since /lib/modules is only present on one of them (where I build the
kernel).

I mean, if cp -r /lib/modules/`uname -r` /mnt/sourcemage/lib/modules, or
even better, a symlink, is cool, just say so

TIA

I would suggest sharing the kernel source between both distros,

This usually wouldn't be possible, because the different distros apply
different patches to the kernel to facilitate whatever they want to
do...Whatever makes them unique.

As far as I know, Slackware is the only distro that uses a stock kernel.

You can use a stock kernel with pretty much any distro AFAIK. I for one
don't use the std Debian kernels in my laptop, I "roll my own" for
several reasons.
