I've used the 1.5.2 sysinst to partition the disks and format
them. I assume the next steps are:

1) Use the utility menu to start the networking
2) Drop to a shell
3) Mount my freshly partitioned disks
4) FTP the tarballs onto the disks and extract them
5) Run MAKEDEV and set the timezone up
6) Reboot

Have I missed any stages? And how do I get the kernel source
for the snapshot? I suppose I have to get it from CVS using the
correct tag, but I don't know which one to use.
