I am sending an updated version of this patch to the 
anaconda-patches lists fedorahosted org mailing list for review.  It 
only addresses the first part of the suggested solution (parse uname to 
get the platform).  I talked with Dennis Gilmore, and he said he has 
been working on a command line option for livemedia-creator to override 
the platform, so if this patch is acceptable he can follow up with a 
second patch to handle that.

Please let me know if you have any additional suggestions for improvement.
