We probably really need to see how we can use the (now existing, though
desktop enviroment specific) tools/frontends at install time rather than
having our own slightly different UI.

But non-trivial to do as embeddability isn't necessarily their raison
d'être unlike the s-c bits where we built them that way to begin with
(largely by starting with what had been in anaconda and pulling it
out to be separate).

As Chris said on IRC -- around and around and around it goes....
