Yes, the install floppy will install a GENERIC kernel from the 2.2.5
distribution you install, not the kernel from the install floppy. This is
just how the install process works.
After installing, simply boot and use the fixit disk, and copy the
kenerl.GENERIC from ftp.i-connect.net to /kernel, and boot up. At this
point, you should build a new kernel from scratch using the 2.2.5 source,
and apply the dpt patch.
