Comments/Problems:
Installer automatically installs a K7-Kernel which does not boot on the T23
(uncompressing Linux message ok, but that's the last message). For a novice,
the debian installation just fails. Why can't the user choose among different
kernels to be installed? In this case, only a expert installation suceeded, but
all the selections had to be redone.
