James Cammarata primarily is working on Windows XP and 2003 automated
installation, whereas I am exploring opportunities for Vista.
We're both on IRC most of the time, so if you're interested ;-)
Kind regards,

The ris-linux stuff has been merged into devel, but it is a bit rough
around the edges. You still have to do a lot of things manually like
configure samba, tftpd, and the binlserver, but a winXP CD should import
fine once that's all done. I don't have a 2k3 CD at my disposal, so I
haven't tested that, and I think my XP CD is pre-SP1 too so if yours is
SP1/SP2 there may be some issue there that I didn't run into.
My goal was to get the basics in for importing, and let people hack away on
it smoothing away the rough edges, so don't expect this to be supported
until 1.6 at the earliest. I've been promising a wiki page for a couple of
weeks... I really need to get on that so keep bugging me about it :)
