I tried using your iso as the loopback device instead of the FC5 DVD iso
but I get:

	"Invalid URL location given"

- so it looks like the install program is still looking for the normal
FC5 install tree.

I then created the FC5 install tree on disk and I replaced:

	diskboot.img

with:

	slinky-0.5.05b-disk1.img

and the install did actually start OK but crashes part way in with
Anaconda install problems . . it was a bit optimistic I guess . . 

Thanks,

Phil.
