Description of problem: When installing on a x86-64 machine, there is no way one can force the installation to take the server kernel. When installing on older 32-bit hardware there is no way to force the installation to install the desktop586 i.s.o.the "normal" desktop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Any How reproducible: All the time Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
Ah, indeed, I remember I didn't manage to find a way to install the desktop586 kernel either, when I needed to during Mageia install.

Well, there's a way: auto_install with an auto_inst.cfg.pl file :-) What's the point here anyway? If one really doesn't want the default kernel, one can: - go through Custom/individual pkg selection - use auto_install as stated above

@ Thierry For autoinstall: either you need a previous installation to make the file (which I don't have, and who has???) , or would you imagine someone sitting and adding how many hundreds package names to such list??? And I tried Custom/individual pkg selection, but kernels are not listed there.
