I've had Kubuntu on my dual boot (XP) laptop since kernel 2.6.10.5 and it's always been a -686 version.
After the upgrade to Dapper I had some issues that made me do a new install from the live DVD.
Now after some ten days I realised the new install is with a -386 kernel plus it (the kernel) did not end up on the reserved 100 MB hda2 partition but under /boot on the main 20GB Linux partition hda5
Would there be an advantage to do a new install, mainly because of the 686 optimalisations or possibly to get the kernel on it's own partition?
Hardware: Toshiba SA40-211 (P4-2.8mHz-512MB)
