[Fedora-livecd-list] [PATCH] use isolinux instead of grub

While using grub works for CD booting in a lot of cases, it also seems
to have problems on some hardware.  isolinux is what we've always used
everywhere else for CD booting, so it probably makes sense to be
consistent with the live CD.[1]  Attached moves to using isolinux and
the vesamenu + splash bits that are used for anaconda.

Probably worth looking at making things more generic with things like
the location of the splash image, but this change doesn't actually make
that a worse problem, per se.
