On a side note - I'm pretty sure I've already mentioned it in the past, but we
should convert to the 'inst.ks' syntax instead of plain 'ks', anaconda
currently accepts both [1], but it documents that *all* installer options are
prefixed with 'inst.' and in future releases it may stop accepting the older
syntax.
