Yay. Jeremy rocks. I would love to have direct access to updates within
the installer as a *option*. I know regressions on updates would make
this messy but the right solution is to avoid regressions anyway.

Cool. Now if we get Pirut to work on media and nfs trees, Puplet by
default, Pup with the Luke Macken's cool new UI and spicy notifications
I am almost sold. Network manager by default would be even better but

Puplet is on by default in Rawhide as of yesterday (i.e. yum-updatesd is
enabled out of the box).
