Re: feature: do not eject DVD after media check

["Russell Harrison" <rtlm10 gmail com>]

A use case for this may be when there are multiple CDs / DVDs is to
simply provide the user the feed back on which disk of the full set is
being checked.  This could be helpful for someone who was given a set
of CDs that someone else downloaded.  Its a really bummer to find out
you're missing the last CD after checking 4 others.  So being able to
change the message to something like "Checking DVD 1 of 2" or
"Checking CD 3 of 5" would be a nice touch.  Then if anaconda knows
its checking disk 1 of 1 it should be very easy to skip ejecting the
CD.
