Because they bought the SW7.1 CD and therefore have the kernel source code 
and have compiled their own custom kernels with support for framebuffer 
and scsi and sound, which are smaller than the 2.2.26 bzimage.big.

Do you want to compile a kernel or two for me from my config for 2.2.16?

And 2.2.26 won't work with USB memory sticks or camera memory cards 
anyway.
