btw, the configuration file is a file that tells the kernel compilation
process what to compile into the kernel, what to leave out, what to
compile as modules, etc. Take a brief look at "/boot/config[your kernel
version]" to get an idea of what it looks like. Even though you probably
haven't compiled your own kernel, the Debian people who did compile your
kernel for you, included the config file in the kernel package; that's
why the file is on your machine even though you didn't do the compiling.
