Well, the configuration screens in rhn_register are kind of useless 
because they're so "Red Hat"-centric.  I was going to replace them with 
something potentially keyed off of a serial number of a product, but I 
haven't really decided quite how it's going to work yet.

I actually have been rewriting some fairly big chunks of anaconda and the 
installation loader, so I've been playing around with newt a lot lately.  
I wasn't very happy with the way Disk Druid worked, so I ended up changing 
it to make partitioning a little more intuitive.

up2date right now works fine, although since I'm not using the X I was 
thinking of ripping all of the X functionality out of it.. but that's 
probably a waste of time (plus I'd have to maintain it).
