Yeah, this is definitely a good thing about this approach.  I'm waffling
back and forth over which approach I like best.  Obviously, you could do
either at this point, it's just a question of which seems the cleanest
for us to do.

A local repo isn't _that_ much worse to make than just building an rpm
(cp to dir, run createrepo)

The fedora user should show up in the face browser so you just have to
select it.  But, the face browser only shows up at > 800x600.  I wonder
if there's any way that we could get the face browser working okay for
the 800x600 case.

Yeah, fixed with new anaconda built earlier today (xinitrc just runs
scripts that end in .sh.  argh!)
