Note that while you can do this, it breaks kudzu to some extent (been there, done that...). At the postinstall stage kudzu probes for USB and sound at least, the problem is it tries to locate kernel modules for its findings from /lib/modules/<version of running kernel>/ path and if the versions differ it fails, resulting in things like USB mouse working at install time but not on the first boot before you manually add "alias usb-controller.." to /etc/modules.conf etc. Kudzu from rawhide can be told where to look for the modules so you could patch anaconda to make kudzu look for your actual kernel version. -- - Panu -
