I believe that the installer (anaconda) should support installation ONLY from 
Core.  Additional packages should be installed by the system-config-packages 
replacement pup which would be invoked during firstboot (or manually after 
firstboot).  Although I have not [yet] voiced my opinion on the, I believe 
that pup should support all of the same inpout modes as anaconda (e.g., 
cdrom, nfs, ftp, http, etc.).
