OK, seems to work. I still need to make a few modifications, so I'm not 
releasing it just yet. How's this for size:
$ ls -sh slinky-v0.3.1.iso
 19M slinky-v0.3.1.iso

It's a bootable ISO which starts the slinky installer, and provides the 
i386 kernel package. It also contains the .img files required to make 
boot floppies. We run the slinky installer, ask for the Red Hat disks, 
and at the end, ask for the slinky disk to install the kernel.

I still need some testers to use the previously released slinky-v0.3.1 and 
give me some feedback on the rpm dependencies for everything other than 
the base and network options. Please?
