Bug#390565: Patch for the graphical installer on PPC boxes

[Attilio Fiandrotti <attilio.fiandrotti@gmail.com>]

About the "sed -i" thing, this is to keep coherency with other parts of 
the installer, as frans suggested.
I guess it's also simpler asking a tester to uncomment a single line 
instead of adding a line by hand, which could lead to typos and 
unreliable test results, when debugging the g-i.
I really hope this is enough to make g-i work on all those machines 
where a success was reported after tweaking properly directfbrc.
