These are the kernels used for the different `flavours' of the i386
boot-floppies for potato. Checkout:
.../debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current
("..." is the URI for your favorite Debian ftp mirror)
The READMEs scattered around the ftp site explain what each flavour is
for, the images-{1.44,2.88}/{compact,idepci,udma66,}/kernel-config files
contain a copy of the configuration of each kernel.
