It ships with 2.2.X as well - just install the kernel image.
But as Jamie pointed out, whatever kernel is on the CD, is bound to be
obsolete already, because we are up to 2.2.7 already.

Debian has kernel-image-2.2.5 available as a package so you can just type 
"apt-get install kernel-image-2.2.5" and it will download and install it
for you.

You are by far better off downloading your own kernel and compiling that,
though - it will end up being faster and smaller, and it will be easier to
keep up to date with the latest.

It's not that hard, really.
