Martin:

Can you apply and test: xo.patch from:

Now sets the filesystem label to be XSRepo, used with the sed's line to
set the ks= directive to be that of the usbdrive's label. That should
fix the need to edit the bootloader's config file.

I need to append "method=hd:LABEL=XSRepo:/iso" to the same line, (or add
harddrive --partition=LABEL=XSRepo --dir=iso to the ks file) but I
wanted to get this out, that would eliminate the need to input the
source of the install in anaconda. This works, but anaconda stops while
the usb drives become available, and asks where the kickstart file is.
The anaconda rpm in the same directory above addresses that issue and
add support to install to a CF card. 

Next would be to add a boot option for a XO, and fix the ks.cfg file to
be used with a XO.
