Too late! Start with slinky v0.3.2 instead. ;)

0.3.2 is available as an iso containing the i386 kernel, as well as the
usual floppy images. If you've already downloaded the kernel, you can
just use the floppy images. Edit the second_stage_scripts/base_install.sh
file to point to where the kernel can be found. Even easier, let the
install run and complain that the kernel package wasn't found, switch to
vt2 and install the kernel package manually. You can then go back to vt1,
and finish the install.

Slinky. I haven't fooled much with miniconda yet, although I am now able
to rebuild the disks. Still have to patch anaconda for our needs.
Note that in the not too distant future, slinky will use a configuration
file, making the process somewaht less complicated. I hope.

No silly questions detected. ;)
