Comments/Problems:
The first time I installed RC2, I just presumed it was
going to install a 2.6 kernel by default, which is
what I wanted. It should tell you which kernel will be
installed on the boot splash screen before the
installer is loaded,as well as telling you to type
'linux26' if you want the new kernel. This will save
people going through the entire base install procedure
and then re-installing or having to figure out how to
upgrade to the latest kernel afterwards.
Upon rebooting, after the first base system install
(with the 2.4 kernel), GRUB had detected my Windows XP
Pro partition and added it to the boot menu. Not
wanting a 2.4 based system I did a re-install, this
time issueing the 'linux26' command and again all went
fine but this time after installing the base system
and rebooting GRUB gave no option to boot into
Windows. Fortunately, I knew how to fix this but
people new to Linux would've got very worried that
they lost their Windows drive if that happened to them.
