So, in order to learn the new anaconda features for installing FC6, I 
must first install my FC6T2 system, then install anaconda (which I don't 
really have a need for other than the docs)? :-(

I know this will be in the FC6 release notes when they finally happen, 
but, perhaps a quick wiki page?

Anywho, for those interested:

    repo (optional) - EXPERIMENTAL

        Configures additional yum repositories that may be used as sources
        for package installation.  Multiple repo lines may be specified.

        repo --name=<repoid> [--baseurl=<url>|--mirrorlist=<url>]

        --name=

            The repo id.  This option is required.

        --baseurl=

            The URL for the repository.  The variables that may be used in
            yum repo config files are not supported here.  You may use one
            of either this option or --mirrorlist, not both.

        --mirrorlist=

            The URL pointing at a list of mirrors for the repository.  The
            variables that may be used in yum repo config files are not
            supported here.  You may use one of either this option or
            --baseurl, not both.
