Forrest,
Pardon my 'newbie-ness' in this department, but I've never really applied any patches. Can you give a quick tip?
Thanks,

Sure. This patch was written for the anaconda source, but you can just
patch buildinstall manually on your system. Save the patch to /tmp and
then run this as root:
cd /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime
patch -p2 < /tmp/buildinstall.patch
The -p2 option to patch means to strip the first two directories. The
first line of the patch tells it which file to patch:
diff -urN anaconda-9.0.6.orig/scripts/buildinstall...
Taking off the first two directories leaves just buildinstall, which is
why you have to cd to /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime. You can also look at
the patch and fix buildinstall manually. The fourth line tells you
which line to start looking at. The lines beginning with - are the ones
that it will remove, and the lines beginning with + are the lines that
it will add. You will have to look close at the lines in this patch to
see the four extra quotes (').
