I downloaded the Slackware 15 releases (32 & 64 bit) 3 years ago,
burned both to bootable DVDs, installed the 32 bit version.

Now I'm about to install the 64 bit version.  

Slackware Linux CD-ROM Installation HOWTO,  v15.0, 2022-02-02
says:

    These are the kernels shipped in Slackware:
       hugesmp.s
       gensmp.s
       huge.s
       generic.s 
       speakup.s 

but on the DVD, the /kernels/ directory has only

       huge.s

Is this the way it's supposed to be?  Just an oversight that the list
quoted above from the HOWTO wasn't changed?

The 32 bit DVD includes hugesmp, huge, generic, & generic-smp.
Are any differences between  these obsolete with 64 bits?
