>Description:
sysinst checks that the distribution sets exist (when installing from
CD atleast) with the routine distribution_sets_exist_p() in util.c
This still checks for existence of kern.tgz although the rest of sysinst now
uses kern-*.tgz
>How-To-Repeat:
Burn an install CD and try to install from it.
>Fix:
Change the kern.tgz in distribution_sets_exist_p() to kern-GENERIC.tgz?
