Thanks for the tips. This will be my first time doing changes to a src package and repackaging it again. I followed your instructions but when I try to repackage the file with <rpm -ta ...> I am getting "-ta unknown option error". 1. Is it possible to get a more detailed description? 2. Also, once I have repackaged the rpm, I guess I need to install the newly created rpm. How do I make the stage2.img file from there? 3. Can I not just simply do this change by editing the looped stage2.img file? I tried it but I can not write the edited file (although I looped with the -o rw option) Suggestions? All help is appreciated.

I found the progress_text.py file and did the change. Do I now need to re-compile anaconda? How do I go about this since I have never done this before. > > No, anaconda is a Python script.
