It shouldn't be overly difficult.
Depends on how different the distributions are, really.

One special package list should do the trick. I'd offer to try, but I 
don't have the time at present, and given the deadline, won't have the 
time.

One question, though. Why Connectiva? I don't know how good the Red Hat 
Spanish support is, but getting Red Hat installed and booting with 
Spanish locale support should be simple enough.
