I actually meant that gcc be executable from boot.img so that a kernel can be compiled directly from the boot cd (onto ramfs presumably, unless you mount anything else) without having to install anything to a hard disk - I for one would find this very useful, and I'm surprised I haven't seen any other distros do this. Comments please - Tom
