Yes, you need to replace the original anaconda-packages from the distribution with the modified anaconda-* packages. > I maked a patch file and changed the summary section of spec > file too.

The description texts comes from the spec-file itself, did you replace them aswell? > I burnt the cd, even i am getting old installer :( :( (Red > hat word has not got replaced) This would be because you didn't copy the modified packages to the build-tree (/redhat/i386/RedHat/RPMS if you follow the instructions by Tony Nugent). > Finally as the following hint given by Poltsi (can u pl clear > ur statements?), has got some ambiguity like > " And add the patch to the modified spec-file.

The file should reside in the /usr/src/redhat/SOURCES directory. I would advise you to read some basics about how the rpm works, Maximum RPM, although somewhat outdated, is an excellent guide to the internals of the package management-system: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/ Poltsi _________________________________________ Paul-Erik Törrönen Cardinal Information Systems Ltd Pursimiehenkatu 29-31 C, 00150 Helsinki, FINLAND E-mail: paul-erik.torronen@xxxxxxxxxxx Mobile: +358 (0) 40 703 1231 Phone: +358 (0) 424 162 4204 Fax: +358 (0) 424 162 4207 Web: <www.cardinal.fi>
