Incorporating Anaconda fixes onto a KS boot CD

I've been working on creating a "disk zero" that seperates out the
kernel and installer from the packages so that you can make quick
updates.  Basically the plan is to just rm the RPM directory, change
the diskinfo file to say it's cd 0.  Copy in a new install kernel. 
Create a patchup/ directory with a script that will be run right
before the %post.  The patchup script will install an updated kernel,
and udev etc.

To install you just boot to disk zero, then it tells you to insert cd
1 for the packages install part.  Anaconda already handles that bit.

My plan is to get disk zero working for CD installs then afterwards
work on network installs etc.

I started last weekend and I'll try to work on it some more tomorrow.

dan
