Different types of kernel



Someone was asking about this: (Gathered from
http://auric.debian.org/~aph/bf/2.2.15/README.txt )

 The flavors available for this architecture are `compact', 'idepci',
      and `udma66'.

      compact .... A Linux kernel with some non-critical device
                   drivers removed, and a few of the more common PCI
                   device drivers compiled into the kernel itself.
                   See images-1.44/compact/README.txt

      idepci ....  Similar to compact, but even more PCI device drivers
                   are compiled into the kernel, and SCSI is removed.
                   See images-1.44/idepci/README.txt

      udma66 ..... Specialized kernel for those who require the UDMA66
                   IDE patch.  This may be needed if you have a
                   Promise Ultra66 IDE controller, among others.
                   See images-1.44/udma66/README.txt
