No, not really. Technically you can rip a kernel any associated kernel
modules from any working system image. But it may not always be so simple.
I think Robert used to keep modules tar'd up for various kernels, but I do
not know where to look for them any more. Also, since kernel modules have
to be compiled against the kernel they're meant for . . . it makes things a
bit more difficult.

Anyway, it's probably better to start off with a console image from Robert,
and just start apt-get remove --purge unneeded packages. A good way to know
what to remove is to pipe the output of dpkg to a file ( dpkg -l >
/path/to/file.ext )
, and start googling the package names. After a while you will know what
packages are required.

You can also search the web for "reduce debian" and you'll run into links
like this: https://wiki.debian.org/ReduceDebian. So just start reading.
Theres also a really good read on reducing Ubuntu, which mostly applies to
Debian as well ( since Ubuntu is based on Debian ).

If you're going to use Roberts barefs though. You'd be best off following
that whole guide I linked to, and compiling your own kernel, kernel
modules, and boot loaders.
