Add a clear installer option to select a 64KB page kernel.

I believe this should be offered in expert mode, have you tried that?

AFAICS linux-image-powerpc64le-64k is not included in the DVD-1 image, so it requires a network mirror. Same with linux-image-arm64-16k.

I suppose something like this might do the trick?

I suppose so, if it pulls dependencies in.

This might push other packages out of the netinst though.

Trxie RC2 ppc64el netinst image size is only 545 MiB, so I suppose there
is still some room on a CD (650 MiB) ? However it might push other
packages out of the DVD-1 image.

Sorry for the delayed response - catching up on sleep after debconf.

Yeah, that patch is the obvious thing here. On the ppc64el netinst I
think we have plenty of space.

I'll tah that now and trigger a test build.

That build completed ok, and the extra kernel is included. Trupti:
could you grab the latest faily netinst and see if that works better
for you now please?
