I'll admit I've been trying to build a SL "site" since 4.1.  I'm still 
baffled by the documentation and supporting scripts.  I ended up 
building a supplementary CD for our end users to insert and install 
packages/run scripts after the fact.  The default "noexec" in SL5 
annoyed me to no end.  It is rather clumsy and I would welcome any 
easier method to roll in custom packages and configurations during the 
install process.  Either through the modification of the installation 
media or a means to insert another media during install (CD preferred).
