System.map should end up in the /usr/src/linux directory; just copy it
over.

For modules, when you do a "make modules_install", do it like this:

	make modules_install INSTALL_MOD_PATH=/for/laptop

The modules will be installed under /for/laptop (a path which must
exist) instead of /lib; you can then copy them over.
