Somewhere in the thread that speaks of a graphical installer mentioned
device-detection.

We can use this work elsewhere.  Create 'sane defaults' for the kernel
.config ... selecting which nic, framebuffer, DRI, apic, mtrr, etc ...
ANYTHING that can be detected.  As a part of the installer, have a 'wizard'
that walks one through the kernel configure/compile itself maybe?

Nope, we're using redhat's anaconda as base, that has autodetection and such, 
and it's in python (i think).

But that's more davoid's work now, since i'm planning the GUI now.
