Cool install Icons?

Back in the RH8 and RH9 days there were some cool images displayed in
anaconda during the install process. They were a hot dog and an ice cream
cone, or something like that. Once the install started they would pop up
and say something like "this may take a while, why don't you go have a snack?"

I always thought it was funny, and it showed RedHat's lighter side. That
sort of thing probably wouldn't be appropriate for RHEL, but I think it
would fit in really well with Fedora. Something silly like that to show
that Fedora doesn't take itself too seriously.

Would it be possible to resurrect something silly like that during the
install? The current install images aren't nearly as exciting. Honestly I
couldn't even tell you what they say! But I *do* remember those hotdog
install screens from all the way back in RH8/9 from six years ago. That's
good marketing!
