By the way, I'm not using fai-kernels for FAI :) so I'm asking myself
about the package name.

fai-kernels are just general purpose kernels built to boot with DHCP
and use a NFS root filesystem.

And 'kernel' is a too generic name for that, we are only providing the
Linux kernel.

Maybe we should rename this package linux-netboot or
linux-image-netboot ?

We should also provide a small image that will fit in a floppy and
another with all the modules compiled in for those like me who boot
over network and want support for as much hardware as possible.

Please tell me what you think.
