It doesn't get the testing to be installed by default, IMHO.

You can put multiple packages in the textbox, e.g. "hal,hal-info,kernel,glibc"

By inserting the disk means we have to register a content type and
prober for the media type. This is fairly easy, but then turns a
generic pendrive into PackageKit media from a nautilus point of view.
Better instead would be to insert the disk and just double click on
the .servicepack file.
