Can I select the kernel version when installing?

I seem to remember that when I first installed Sarge 3.1 I was able to pass a parameter to the installer so that it installed kernel version 2.6, not 2.4.

I've just had a *really* bad install on a new machine and will reinstall. One of the problems was that 2.4 was installed and a number of modules complained.

The rest was too weird to describe now (and I'm tired) but I'd appreciate somebody telling me whether I can in fact select which kernel gets installed.

Hi,

To install the 2.6.x.x kernel just type:

Code:

linux26

Thats it

for more information just press F1 at the "boot:" screen it will give you all the available kernels there
