It only boots with that kernel and installs it. You are free to switch to a different kernel once your system is running. Also included is a 2.2.5 kernel ready for installation. When switching to 2.2.x please take a look at the kernel upgrade page at http://www.debian.org/ (sorry, url not handy). Regards, Joey -- Linux - the choice of a GNU generation.
