Thanks for your suggestion but I've had no difficulty in creating a
resc1440.bin with a 2.2.0 kernel. Of course I turned on only the
features I needed so the kernel image was pretty bare. The primary
objective was to get the base system installed and then replace this
boot image with something more usefull.
For the record I used an unmodified kernel-package-6.06. I had to
comment out some code in boot-floppies 2.1.6 otherwise the installer
would freeze.
Cheers.
