There is, it is very simple. Someone can take the distributed kernel, and
cut out parts of it that aren't needed for a particular type of machine or
application (ie no network connection).
They can test compile it, solve any frictional problems that occur due to
the changes, and distribute it. There are two glitches ; they need access
to an ftp site and they need help from people who have, or must have
themself, machines of several different architectures. (or they can
guess which files to cut out -- is it clear cut? I don't know).
