-Some &arch-title; subarchs have the option of booting using either a
-2.4.x or 2.2.x linux kernel. When such a choice exists, try the 2.4.x
-linux kernel. The installer should also require less memory when using
-a 2.4.x linux kernel as 2.2.x support requires a fixed-sized ramdisk
-and 2.4.x uses tmpfs.
