The first step in this process is pretty much done, that is using yum in
anaconda instead of rpm.  For FC5 I do believe we are not going to allow
plugging into external repos for package installations at install time,
however that is I believe an expressed goal for FC6.  I'm sure somebody
will correct me if I'm wrong (:
