I should have said "Debian pre-compiled 2.4.18 kernels provided as
kernel-image-2.4.18-386 etc.".
Key functions such as network cards, netfilter, nfs, jbd, ext3, (I think
scsi too), ... For jbd, ext3, and ext2, I activate them at boot time
using initrd. /etc/mkinitr/modules conatins them. See mkinitrd(8).
If course you can brew your own kernel using make-kpkg and go static.
If machine is behind firewall, no-journal filesystem, no-cd-rw, no-scsi,
single ethernet card, no sound, no framebuffer ... module will be one
for network card.
