Hi folks,
Initial builds for the Red Hat 8.0 slinky installer are available.
Minimally tested, use at your own risk. ;) By minimally, I have tested
that it runs and begins installing packages. I have not done a complete
install as yet. At this point, it is likely I haven't accounted for all
the dependencies for the installed packages.

For i586 and i686 processors, the correct kernel package should be
installed. For i386 and i486, I need a few testers. Since Red Hat has
dropped the i386 kernel package, I need to try another route.
Could someone with one of these machines (It must be recent enough that it
does _not_ need math emulation compiled into the kernel. (386DX and up?)
I don't remember when this changed.). Run the installer, and after you
get the "Finished installing rpms" message:
o change to the second VT (alt f2)
o insert and mount cd 3
o run rpm -ivh /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS/kernel-BOOT*.rpm
o unmount the cdrom
o exit that shell, and return to VT1
o finish the install.
o Let me know if the machine reboots? ;)
If it works, I'll add the capability to slinky to automate the process.
The lack of a stock Red Hat i386 kernel sucks, to be honest.
