I agree with this, however, there are times when one _must_ have a driver
compiled within the kernel. Point in case, I want to put together a toolbox
based on Debian and I want to use UMSDOS as my basic FS. Unless you have an
alternative, I believe that in order to boot up into Debian on a UMSDOS FS,
you must have UMSDOS embedded within the kernel.
