 this is not about 'lazy'
 it's easier for the user to select between 2 choices then between
 4. multiply by 2 (FAT16/FAT32), this is 4 or 8 kernels.

 there's not much use for a 186 kernel as NOBODY has 186/286 machines
 these days,
Really, NOBODY.

Haha...I'd be interested if you ever developed a 586 core at 1GHz that
could utilize DDR-3 upto 4GB.
