In C6 this is very broken!! It is not useful. Sometimes it shows the packages
that were installed and most of the time it does not. In addition, it does not
even get the disk layout right. If I take what is in anaconda-ks.cfg and paste
it into a kickstart file. It blows chunks. Sometimes I can figure out what is
wrong but other times I cannot get it to work. I fought with a software raid 1
setup yesterday and never did get it to work.

At some point I need to file a bug wrt this but I have not taken the time to
do it yet.
