Changelog:
    * fixed problems with ratpoison package
           ratpoison wm should not set /etc/conf.d/xmanager to MythTV since now it's used on MMS also
    * fixed MMS template problem
    * fixed XWindows package
           missing dependency libusb
    * fixed M99-XWindows script for Kiosk
           when adding kiosk options Server Flags overrides the Default server Layout thus X is not using proper configuration and
           complains about trident driver missing
           Get "Options \"DefaultServerLayout\"" from conf file before adding new ServerFlags options
    * fixed iMedia Installer invalid fstab when user is choosing not to install GRUB
    * fixed iMedia Installer old problem with root device when installing on diferent system
           instead of using old way device parsing to kernel line, not we are using fs label to parse to grub kernel line and fstab
    * fixed iMedia Installer invalid path to initrd files
           added variable $install::INSTALL_SOURCE = "/mnt/source"
    * fixed Install CD, automount mounted /mnt/source before install script does thus not properly created flag file and tricking installer
           that mount source is not installed, added umount in mount_install_source script
    * TO BE FIXED all other vars dep on install source should be consturncted from this var
    * fixed /etc/initd.d/99network
           udhcpc script should not be invoked with -b ( fork to backgroung option ) because it will not try to rediscover DHCP servers
           instead drop messages to a newly created log file and fork it to background &
           mknod /dev/logging/udhcpc.log c 241 16
           when spawning udhcpc make sure interface is up first ( ifconfig ${DEVICE} up )
    * modified /sbin/udhcp-manager to create a semaphore file in /var/lock/$interface.fail for future use
    * create script for reseting xorg.cong values
           /usr/bin/xorg-auto-config

    * fixed LABEL=xxx in grub
           in order for root=LABEL=xxx to work we must always have an initrd image, nash beeing responsable for translating root=LABEL=xxx into root=/dev/xxx
           now full initrd is installed every time
    * fixed InstallCD Interface.pm::AdvancedBootLoaderForm to support for boot device LABEL option
           if ( EntryGetValue($root_entry) !~ /\/dev\/[hs]d[a-e]\d+/i && EntryGetValue($root_entry) !~ /LABEL=/i ) {
