I have looked into the Deban kernel config file and found than they
have compiled in initrd but also have compiled in (ie not modular)
about every SCSI driver supported by Linux.  That makes little sense
for me.  And the end result is a fat kernel.

I also looked at the networking faetures and Debian 1.3.1 is out of
the box stripped off of most networking features so it cannot without
recompiling be a router.  There are distributions who provide them out
of the box and still manage to ship leaner kernels.
