[xubuntu-users] Force XU Edgy Desktop install to use 2.4 kernel?

[John Shane]

Thanks for the tip, Adam.  I tried the F6 option and chose Expert
install but still didn't find a way to use a 2.4 kernel.  So I went
and downloaded the Sarge netinst disk, only 100MB, and am up and
running on the Portege.  I'll try ubuntu breezy later just to compare.
