18 Alpha TC3 DVD defaulting to networked install

[Petr Schindler]

I've filled the bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=849152

This bug shows, how bad could it be, when you can't choose custom
packages. It is impossible to install system with GNOME without this
feature now.

Hopefully no more dependency problems will appear. And this won't be
needed anymore.
