Absolutely correct. Creating a new package list for FC2 is one of the
tasks which have to be done to make slinky support FC2. The other is to
use another version of rpm - the slinky rpm version cannot install the
FC2 rpms! So currently it is impossible to install FC2 with slinky.
There may be additional things to do, but these two were apparent for me
when I tried to find out what's necessary to have slinky support FC2.

Generally this should be possible, although I'm uncomfortable with
upgrades, especially because for that upgrade you'll have to use the
regular FC2 installer, which requires at least 32 MB RAM (maybe more, I
didn't check). So for this particular install an upgrade is not
possible.

Sorry for the bad news!

Best regards,
Martin
