Since Anaconda would know what type of install it's doing, it could hide
the extra repo selection UI for known not-working installs.  The other
bit of UI that would be needed would be the ability to change/edit the
mirror that the repos were being fetched from.

It'd also be nice to be able to specify a proxy server for http/ftp
installs.
