kernel quandries?

[somuchfortheafter]

I noticed that nomatter where I install ubuntu I get the default i386 kernel which is all fine and dandy but nobody needs i386 is there any way that ubuntu could get a smart installer to remove the kernel and install the correct kerenl ie k7/i686?

I've not tried it but since the installer is Debian based will it let you do an expert install by passing that parameter at the boot line?

$ linux expert

Its easy to install and use the 686 kernel.

sudo apt-get install linux-686

then reboot.
