KERNEL


	The KERNEL can be the GENERIC kernel supplied by the installation
	media or you might need a custom kernel for special support of your
	hardware. Decide which works for you. Myself? I use the GENERIC
	kernel. In the production implementation GENERIC worked fine and
	many customers decided to recompile their kernels anyway.

	In my test settup I built several custom kernels for my mule.
	These kernels were tuned for several specific applications:
	Database, WebServer, Workstation and Firewall. 

	    	  kernel.db
		  kernel.www
		  kernel.ws
		  kernel.fw

	and symlinked the correct kernel at install time or you might
	modify the loader.rc discussed in the previous page, to either 
	prompt for the kernel or hardcode the correct one. I prefer 
	the symlink option here but in the overall scheme of things
	a generic kernel will suffice.
