Is that the May 20th image. I don't see them up yet but those should
be the first "officialy inofficial" images with kernels on them. The
May 19th is still without.

The actual image _with_ kernels is 81MB big. The remaining 30 MB
difference is used up by the i386 boot floppy images and the duplicate
kernel image, udeb, debs and initrd for 2.4 and 2.6:

I only pasted the first kernel and module udeb for each version for
readability and omited changes in version only. As you can see the
amd64 netinst actualy has one extra package on it compared to i386
(libperl5.8) and one missing (ipchains) [that we don't need i think].
Only thing missing is the autorun.* but that is a minor detail.
