heh. that went pretty much as expected. everything boots, and is
happy, but then we expect to find a Fedora-directory to use for http
install. symlinking that to the RHEL directory (hey, it didn't cost
anything to test) gives the classical "your installation media
doesn't match the stuff I found" error. sanity checks and all that.
so, back to the drawing board.
