Right.  But you do the same thing in the "anaconda_args empty" case as
the "anaconda_args does not contain cmdline or kickstart".  So...

Right.  This is the use case currently.  It is _also_ the use case my
patch implements.  The patch just makes the code simpler.

Try it.  Apply the patch.  Comment out the initial 'run("chroot....'
call that invokes authconfig so the next steps don't fail prematurely.

Then as a _normal_user_ run
  ./04userconfig.py /
  ./04userconfig.py / --blah --blahblah
These will try to chroot and invoke lokkit interactively.  Because
you're a normal user they will fail.

  ./04userconfig.py / --cmdline --blah
  ./04userconfig.py / --blah --kickstart=fake.cfg
These will print "Skipping interactive user configuration.." and exit.

Yeah.  I suppose I should ask Elliot for access at some point :-)
