  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.
