I think Daniel just basically did what the earlier instructions said and
made it available. (Note that the F17 instructions point toward an F16
image.) That's a great start, but now we want to move to making it official.

Yeah, we want to do something like that anyway, at the very minimum because
having a "launch" button is very slick.

Another consideration is that grub2 is not tiny. Doing something to automate
syslinux installation (and figuring out updates with kernel updates?) is
another path to think about.
