So, we believe we managed to create most of an install that:

* Supports Athena Workstation as an option along with Gnome, KDE, etc.

* Mostly successfully installs

* A boot floppy that deals properly with Net 18

We have several open issues:

* Write up what we are doing and why for comment

* Write up patches, documentation on how to reproduce, etc

* Remove local account creation  from the RH installer for Athena
  Workstation

* See if there are any steps from phase2 of the Athena install we care
  about.

* General polishing and graphics

We have state in /afs/sipb/system/rhlinux (modified installer, etc),
and in /afs/sipb/project/linux/rh-6.2/misc.tar (Karl's boot floppy tree)

More mail after sleep.  Thanks for your interest,

--Sam
