Perhaps we need a set of 'GENERIC'-like kernels sitting on an ftp server somewhere that are optimized for different tasks. After the user has selected the distributions to install, sysinstall could ask them if the machine is going to be used as a mailhost/webserver/whatever, and install the appropriate kernel. To be really effective, we need something like a kernel link kit that has a few .o or .a files that generates a working kernel -- like the XFree86 server link kit. Perhaps ELF will help with that...
