Description of problem: Kickstarting from a mirrorlist is fine... what if the machine is in Amsterdam, and my mirrorlist has mirrors in Amsterdam, Seattle, and Thailand... I'm often installing from Thailand. This makes for a very long install, which is totally unneeded. Can we get some optional logic added to anaconda such that it can be a little smarter with choosing mirrors?
Once yum-plugin-fastestmirror is included in the installation environment, we can enable it.
