Both done by Devon with a lot of help from this list, I'd say. :)
Also Brock Organ of Red Hat was quite helpful as well. He has provided me 
with some scripts he is/was playing with to feed to anaconda as updates. 
I'm just now beginning to play around with that option. (So many 
projects, so little time. )

And speaking of help...
Martin, I'm trying to get support into slinky for other keyboards. 
Busybox has a loadkmap command available. However, it wants a binary 
keyboard translation table. Thoughts?
Also, if you are still interested in helping out with documentation, 
slinky could use a proper step by step guide.

Slinky can't do a network install currently. At least not in any way that 
would be deemed user friendly. You do have ifconfig, rpm and wget 
available, so it may be possible if you modify the install script, and 
can get the network up.
Patches to the slinky scripts gratefully accepted. :)
