Just to make this clear, for the upgrade to work you need to select one 
of the top two options, hit tab and then append "upgradeany". The 
default selection has the ks.cfg file which prevent the upgrade choice 
from appearing as an option in anaconda. (thinks it's the partitioning 
info being present)

Maybe we could just add another isolinux stanza that has upgradeany and 
no ks.cfg in it for use with upgrades.
