As there are extra steps involved with using a "generic" kernel,
i.e. one that uses an initrd, by default Slackware installs the "huge"
kernel with most everything compiled in. Using the generic kernel in
Slackware is a deliberate admin choice all the way from building the
initrd itself (even though a helper script is supplied) to configuring
/etc/lilo.conf.
