Perhaps we should get isohybrid working with our image, as described here:

Actually the ISO is builded by revisor itself, mk-images creates only some immediate image.
Added isohybrid to 'iso' target in Makefile.

Sadly, it doesn't work -- the USB boots fine, but then the user is asked to choose which device contains the installation image -- I was offered 3 partitions, and after I chose the correct one (using trial and error method), I was presented with GUI installer, and with target device selection. But then, I got a message that the installation source cannot be found.

I've tried also revisor --install-usb mode, but this also produces not working installer - cannot find installation image. Looking to the logs, /proc isn't mounted, so most likely it is bug in anaconda.

Ok, found what is broken.
Beside some minor fixes, installation source disk must be selected in the first disk selection dialog (both: source and destination disk must be selected).
