Yea, after the chat we had earlier I took away an action item of either
doing this or helping to find a willing volunteer :) I definitely think
this is the way to go prior to/and in addition to generally having
complete Anaconda support. Many ARM system behave exactly like
"appliances" and will never require a full blown installer.
On the other hand many "Tablet" and "netbook"-like ones do need
a full blown installer and there are more of such devices introduced every day.
