OK, patch done, tested and submitted to anaconda-patches.

I have also done a patch for F20 anaconda-20.25.16-1.  Both patches and 
updates.img files are available on my website http://czarc.org

You specify nombr as a boot option or liveinst --nombr if doing a live 
install.

You will need to do an update= boot option or a liveinst --updates= to 
actually run the code.
