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.

I don't know much about Linux. I thought dselect will only uograde the
(add.) progams and the kernel is made by the install-procedure at the
"disks".
