It also makes it easier to get things included upstream so you don't have to keep including patches (*cough* *cough* ;-) Seriously, if anyone has any patches which they think could be at all generally interesting for anaconda, send them. And pretty much anything that's not "s/RedHat/SomethingElse/g" is interesting, at least as a point to start discussion. Cheers, Jeremy
