Meanwhile I've managed to get exactly what I wanted.
The hint from Pablo was invaluable, as I've now done a much more
simplified mock up of the Anaconda screens and I'm currently working
on the interface to the user.

It is actually very simple and easy to do, once you know what you want.

Thank you all for the help.

p.s. Jan, you might not remember me, but we spoke for a while in the
Lisbon Open source conference, i'm the one working with CentOS :).
