	One option that I'm missing at the moment is the "--repo" option.

	I know the syntax sucked, and you couldn't specify a mirror list, but I
found it useful where you have default URLs of the repos in the
kickstart file but you expect most users to have a more local mirror of
those repos. Allowing them to just override on the command line is much
nicer than requiring them to edit the kickstart file.

	e.g. the instructions to a developer might be:

  $> git-clone <my-kickstarts-repo> kickstarts 
  $> cd kickstarts
  $> livecd-creator --repo fedora,file:///my/mirror -c foo.ks
  $> <hack on the kickstarts>
  $> git-commit

	but now it's:

  $> git-clone <my-kickstarts-repo> kickstarts 
  $> cd kickstarts
  $> <edit foo.ks to change the repo URL>
  $> livecd-creator -c foo.ks
  $> <hack on the kickstarts>
  $> <edit foo.ks to change the repo URL back to the default>
  $> git-commit

Cheers,
Mark.
