IDE+ (supports bus-mastering and some other fancy IDE features, rather than
plain vanilla programmed I/O).  You don't really need this unless you're
using the IDE drive 'live' in the system (like for web pages or
something)...

I think there are a few other things enabled (like NFS).

Unless you're trying to get something to work and know kernel support for it
is missing, you should be just fine with the floppy-only or IDE kernel.

Yes.  The previous include KLIPS (Kernel Level IPSec) support, required for
FreeS/WAN (running IPSec on your router/firewall).  The VPNMasq kernel
includes support for masquerading IPSec (running IPSec on a machine on your
internal network).

Use standard Eiger moduels with the IPSec kernels.  Use the VPNMasq modules
with the VPNMasq kernel.
