Here's the deal.

I'll get to the basics of what's itching me right now. This is what I want, and I understand that does not weigh very heavily, but anyway... A simple two disk install-system, well, a kernel and a ramdisk image (to easily boot with BootX, if you have Mac OS) to get to the darn installer. I don't s
