well, i dont think there is an smp kernel in the installer. so you could
roll your own installer. (there is online documentation for that)

i dont know what documentation you found, but there are smp kernels
available (precompiled, of course) via apt. (use aptitude)

i doubt there would be one included in an installer in the future, but
you never know.

out of curiousity, why is it so important to install an smp kernel
"right away"?
