And with that I can see fc17 again, huzzah! The machine I tested on didn't have 
BSD or Windows so I can't test that, but the old fc17 shows up. I assume I have 
to edit the file to allow access to the older kernels if I want them, but I can 
play with that later.

None of this changes my opinion that the installer should at least offer this as 
an option, but this at least offers a way to overcome the poor installer.
