Ahh, yeah, definitely install a new kernel. The kernels that are
built for boot-floppies are quite trimmed down due to size constraints
on the floppies. I'd be kinda surprised if the installer supported
printing :-).

Either do that (use the 'kernel-package' tools) or just install a new
kernel. Take your pick :
apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.20
apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.18-386
Do note that if you move to a 2.4 kernel, some things are different.
Most of the changes are not earth-shattering and some are really good
changes, but you should be aware of them before/as you upgrade.
