Now linked on the front page.

I was able to get it to stutter twice on a 701 while playing music, video
camera in background, doing a `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/zero` (but as root, so
it got higher priority) while simultaneously doing the installation from the
USB key to the internal drive. Even then it is hard to trigger a mili-pause,
but not impossible. It is small enough that it doesn't cause an xrun.

sound in kdenlive may have broke here, with a new update. He's done lots of
commits today so I'm rebuilding. I still am crufting it thru pulseaudio until I
can figure out why i can't "find" xine/jack/phonon.

This image gets some final tweaks to the audio to make it even more robust.
First it gives the sound card's IRQ realtime priority, and rearranges the
others a bit. It also runs a new script which sets the PCI latency, basically
giving the sound card the highest priority on the PCI bus. Even on a lowly 701
with the mirror on, doing `dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/null` to flood the bus and
ctrl-alt-arrowing around like mad to bog down the system as much as possible
and the music doesn't stutter at all. :)

      Remove language groups from comps.xml. Also, restore various gstreamer-*
plugins
      since gstreamer gets installed due to deps, we might as well have it have as
      many features as we can since they are small.

      Tweaks to realtime performance. Add rtirq and tune the PCI bus. nice audio
      Also change so keyboard gets set before anaconda starts so it is coorect in
      the final install.
