Hello All

Most have forgotten by now, but I had reported an alledged problem of a 486 
cpu identity problem with slinky-v.0.3.5 and psyche.

Yeh, right; real short! Anyway, using Slinky-v0.3.6 installing base + network 
+ openssh + sendmail of psyche went without a hitch. The installer correctly 
identified the 486 cpu, asked that an appropriate cd be inserted (used the 
slinky-v0.3.5 iso) and all went well.

The details have gone to Marco for the website.
