Well, the package specifically in Dragora includes not only the image, 
but also the modules, moreover the build tree (in another package).  We 
are talking about a huge package (40M compressed), and for what Qi does 
it (at installation) is pretty good in my opinion.

Try installing the kernel package on Debian, Slackware, or Fedora.  And 
compare which one is faster.
