The first time I installed potato I got kernel 2.2.16 (and RH 7.0 had
2.2.17, IIRC). That was over a year ago. More recent versions of
boot-floppies used 2.2.18pre21. (or something like that, I remember
because there were lots of "what's 'pre'?" questions)

It isn't too surprising that it still has a 2.0 kernel packaged for
it, (in fact, .38 must be fairly new since I thought the 2.0 series
ended at .36) but the installer uses a 2.2 kernel.
