As an OEM thats not going to work.  We master the original CDs with our
logos and Fedora's logos and such.  This is a rather large cost at
release time, but we have to do it in a big chunk.  To do this every
week is insane.  Instead we maintain an 'update' CD we burn manually and
sticker label that we send w/ the system for re-install purposes.
Making this CD available for use DURING install is a good goal.
