I'm just using out-of-the-box stuff off of an offical slink cd (though it
never asked for the seconds disc...).

nm printed info for all three kernels (many, many pages worth), which
appears to be pretty much the same (though debian's kernel was gzip'd w/o
a gzip extension, so I had to give it one temporarily). The only
difference file reports is that my kernel is not statically linked, is
this a problem? (Also, none of the kernels are not stripped, is it safe do
so? How would you do so?)
