anaconda has a whole boatload of parameters, we can't really put every
one in the boot menus...I don't think text mode or VNC were ever in the
boot menus, were they?

? I was saying that this would involve writing a completely new
installer UI, or re-writing the existing one in web languages (oh, god,
*please* let me be a fly on the wall when someone suggests this to the
anaconda team...), and that's a huge undertaking - unless I'm
mis-understanding your idea.
