That was a Woody iso. You can select a 2.4 kernel at install-time by
typing bf24 at the lilo stage. Alternatively, install using a 2.2
kernel, then install a 2.4 kernel using apt. No need for a
dist-upgrade. If you couldn't get the 2.4 option at install using
bf24, you had a broken iso.
As for Sarge, it will default to 2.4, and give you the option of 2.6.
But hey, use what you like. That's the beauty of open-source.
