On some hardware, the framebuffer remains at native panel resolution,
regardless of the vga= setting on the boot command line, but we only
support fixed size layouts of 1024x768 or 800x600. To improve the
appearance:

  - centre the main window
  - limit the "real_window" size to prevent subsidiary windows expanding
    outside the main window

<title>Skip setupSCSI step when run with --local_install (mga#24278)</title>

In a local install, we don't have udev running, so the setupSCSI step
will hang if it tries to probe for logical volumes (lvm2 uses udev).

A local install is used to test the installer (drakx_in_chroot) and to
build the Live ISOs (draklive2), and in both cases we don't really want
the install to be affected by the hardware of the host system. Skipping
the setupSCSI step means $o-&gt;{fstab} contains no entries, so we add a
fake entry for our chroot, to allow us to pass the subsequent check
that we have a root partition.

This fixes a bug introduced by commit c253952df2. That was only supposed
to select GPU firmware packages, but actually selected driver packages as
well.
