hi, i am building a custom distro based on redhat.Now i have hacked up anaconda and made some changes to it.I have a few doubts. What i did is i mounted stage2.img and hjacked around the anaconda and anaconda-runtime directorues. 1. Now is it just enough to leave the .py files in anaconda directory as it is and rebuild stage2.img or do i need to compile them. 2. Also if i have to leave the .py files as it is then what do i do with the existing .pyc files? 3.Now if i need to compile the files in anaconda directory how do i do it?it is really not possible to compile each of the files manually..right??so is there any better way to do it.I tried using compileall module but it is giving me some errors.Moreoever in my existing redhat system i had installed anaconda and anaconda-runtime packages and i freshly compiled them using compileall module and it still gives me errors.could i know why?? oops!!sorry for a really long mail.Your help is invaluable. regards venkat.
