Hi, one was compiled here, the other was taken from DeMuDi... newer 
kernels must have better hardware support, but we are just learning how 
to do the things right.

Both things. "multimedia" is from Debian Multimedia Distribution

Begginer: it acts almost as the live-cd boot up process

That's right, but we must correct this page: it's wrong (old): now the 
Debian way is different, but it makes hardware detection.

> Is that the only

Yes: the boot up scripts: /etc/rcS.d
/etc/rc(#).d/

> Also, is it hard to set up new hardware manually?

It depends on many things... but most of the hardware set up is done 
automatically

No: the system must install them automatically
