Today it doesn't appear Mandrake supports pulling the autoinst config
file from anywhere but a network source or floppy disk.  This makes it
kind of unusable in our current way of creating images.

While I could vend *both* a small ~8M ISO and a floppy image, have the
user burn/insert both, it's not real usable IMO.  Heck, lots of systems
these days don't even have a floppy drive.  And since AOL went to CD's
even I have a hard time finding a usable 3.5 floppy laying about. :)

The issue is being raised with the cooker developers.  If there is an
undocumented way to do it (or they add ks=file || cdrom options) I'll
give it another go.
