I agree with Rod on this one.  Perhaps it is time to bring back FLOPPY?
A generic kernel should really handle every _basic_ type of device driver
we have (e.g. leaving out voxware is ok, pulling out ppp and eg0 devices isn't).

  You just broke my 5 station test bed :-(.  I use ppp lines and
  GENERIC kernels in it as all machines go out of here with a serial
  port in them.  [Running ppp at 115k baud is fine for what I need
  it for and saves me a pile of ethernet cards!].
  
  Though the floppy install stuff may not support ppp, the GENERIC
  kernel sure should!!!
