New slinky version available. Several fixes and hopefully improvements as 
well.
On my server, as well as: (ISO is only available on savannah)

In the six or seven weeks that I've been working on the 0.3.* series of
the installer, I've had only one install report. Thanks Eugene. ;)
Bugs he reported are fixed.

slinky-v0.3.4   - Dec. 7, 2002
                - Minor bugfixes in the rpms install method.
                  Thanks to Eugene Wong for finding and
                  reporting the errors.
                - Fix XFree86 rpm file list.
                - Add option to skip formatting /. Use with caution.
                - Include sendmail package with web tools. (deps)
                - Create /etc/sysconfig/keyboard during install.
                - If slinky.config is used, log it. Echo the file
                  to the log, and place a copy in /root/scripts.
                  Needed to debug install time errors.

If you select the stock XFree86 packages, all dependencies are satisfied. 
If, (after the install), you add openbox, cabextract, and xf86-corefonts,
You'll have a minimal window manager capable of displaying antialiased 
truetype fonts. Very cool! The above packages are available on my server.

Disk usage for an install with:
base packages, web tools, network, XFree86, openssh server, and the 
packages listed above:
[root at slinky root]# df -h
Filesystem            Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hdb1             9.2G  393M  8.5G   5% /
none                   50M     0   49M   0% /dev/shm
/dev/hda1              97M  4.7M   89M   5% /boot

Still under 400M with the stock XFree86 packages and all the dependencies. 
I've made no attempts to remove any extra packages, docs, locale info, 
etc.
