Comment(by martin.langhoff):

 I think the menu should be

  - Interactive install (sets ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg)
  - Interactive install/upgrade, text mode (sets: test ks=cdrom:/ks.cfg
 upgradeany)
  - Fully automated install (sets ks=cdrom:/ks-auto.cfg - generate it
 removing the 'insteractive' opt)
  - ... the std options, rescue, memtest...

 Reasons:
  - Upgrades with GUI crash (anaconda GUI bug) so we only mention upgrade
 on a text install
  - earlier XS builds are still set to 'fedora' product - as the product
 name does not match, we need to say 'upgradeany' for anaconda to offer an
 upgrade.

 After xs-0.5 we can segregate the 'upgradeany' option to a separate
 "Interactive install/upgrade of easly XS, or other".

 We also need to change the mkusbinstalelr script to rewrite the 'cdrom'
 line to 'hd:sdb1' to make it more likely that it'll just work with usb
 disks. It should also add a line to point to the iso directory...
