Driver disks may require an interactive element, but can't that just be
another screen in anaconda proper?  We're already going to have network
bring up UI there (as well as cmdline handling in dracut), as well as
language and keyboard.  It seems to me that we could just toss in
another screen at an appropriate place in the UI.  Note - likely not an
F17 thing.

Right now, if we can't find an install source and the user didn't tell
us anything, we hit the Fedora mirror list and use the first out of
there.  askmethod-like functionality is probably required, but should be
done in the UI as well.
