The transfer finished, and just in time I have a kickstart file that
gets it to install xs-config, xs-pkgs and all the appropriate
dependencies. See:

http://dev.laptop.org/git?p=projects/xs-livecd;a=blob;f=kickstarts/anaconda-f9.ks;h=dfd4eabc417bb09b0bc5bcabce94dd22c1c5212e;hb=HEAD

I am using Jerry's mkusbinstall script, and copying the ks file to the
root of the USB drive. To get anaconda to read it you have to pass
"ks=hd:sdb1:/ks.cfg" to the kernel.

Good news: The network is configured correctly - defautls to server 1 - a

Bad news:
 - idmgr dies with an sqlalchemy error
 - xs-config has errors in %postinst

Tomorrow,

 - fiddle with pungi to the kickstart included in the initrd and to
add grub options
 - fix xs-config, idmgr

cheers,
