Hmm, I assumed that this meant the option to delete unused architectures
from the source tree *after* you've gotten the whole thing. In other
words, typeing "make intel_only" would go through and remove all the
sparc, m68k, alpha, etc stuff from the source tree to save space.

Perhaps you can do this by simply deleting the stuff under
linux/arch/? Or, did I misunderstand the point. Was the original author
talking about splitting the distribution? That seems like a bad idea.
