Exactly. And because standard Debian is what we build on, I think we
should be able to also use standard Debian kernels.
If packages are well built and configure automatically, they are
suitable for DFS. If kernels are well built and configure automatically
with the help of discover and/or hotplug, why not let them be suitable
for DFS also. Yes kernels for a Rescue CD are special, no need for
hardware discovery. But for a DFS with Knoppix functions, The Debian
standard Kernels are ideal.
