halfmeg was on CC, so he should receive the reply directly

Yes, we will provide the pre-installed images because it's the simplest
way for people to step in. When I did the quite minimal installation of
RHEL 5.x in Hercules last time it took 5+ hours to complete IIRC. Plus
the fact that devices and network must be set correctly for a successful
installation it will really be better to distribute also the
pre-installed image.
