[Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH] RFC: Use nash for root switch instead of run-init

[Jeremy Katz]

The attached patch switches so that we use nash instead of the run-init
from the livecd-creator for switching to the real system root.  There's
up and downsides to this, but I think that overall it's the right thing
to do.

Pros:
* Not using binaries from the "host" system when creating the live CD
image.  Makes building x86 and x86_64 live CDs on the same box far
easier
* Makes creator bits all noarch
* Uses infrastructure that we use on "real" systems for the live CD
* Moves more in the direction so that hopefully we can use nash for all
of the initramfs bits in the live CD eventually

Cons:
* Might end up being a little bigger
* nash is bigger and thus debugging it instead of run-init requires a
little more poking/knowledge.

Other thoughts?
