The non-gui class are objects that are used by the ui. They are common to both text and gui mode. They are instanced as attributes of the installer object in the module instdata. This is probably too simplistic to be true but it should give you some pointers. I don't of any internal doc to anaconda code (but would very much like to ;) but you should have a look at: http://www.linuxworks.com.au/redhat-installer-howto.html > On a aside: Are there any methods my which i can test this partitioning > code, possibly using UML.

Get your modified installer on a cd and you can test it on any other computer lying around (if there is any). -- Philippe Gendreau
