Running the install.bat from the above dir will fail, lacking a kernel 2 load. Using the 2.0-linux-file ends up "root fs not found" or so after starting Linux from install.bat. >To answer you second question, you can install hamm and upgrade to >slink. Doing this will end up replacing everything from the install >(except the configs and other necessary stuff).

I thought dselect will only uograde the (add.) progams and the kernel is made by the install-procedure at the "disks".
