Presumably the first step here would be getting an install to work?
My installation attempt failed because anaconda couldn't seem to find
a kernel package, so is the idea here to include i586 packages for
the kernel, glibc, and maybe a few others in CentOSPlus and then teach
anaconda to use that repo during the install as well? Or will the i586
rpms be added to the base rpm install dir/media?

Thanks,
