[SOLVED] Kernel choice during installation

During Daedalus installation (and previous Devuan versions) from an ISO image there is a point at which I am asked to choose between :

linux-image-6.1.0-27-amd64
linux-image-amd64

(There is also an option of no kernel).  What is the difference and which should you choose?  AFAIR the latter was already highlighted as the default. This might not be the latest kernel version as I downloaded this image a while ago, but the question stands.

linux-image-6.1.0-27-amd64 is an available package
linux-image-amd64 is an update placeholder for the latest package
