Ok one more round of merging coming up... give me a day or
so.
The modified RH installer is on its last round of debugging.
I have successfully installed RH7.0 onto a system running
only XFS. And had it boot up afterwards.
I should have the first iso image for download a bit later tonight.
Note we are using the latest anaconda install (7.1...blah blah blah)
which does have some bugs, I will try to document any we come across
but be warned there will be hiccups.
