Start here: http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/bin/view/Anaconda/AnacondaDocumentationProject First off anaconda consists of both python and native code. You'll need various packages installed - see the BuildRequires/BuildPreReq in the spec file or querying the src.rpm - eg: pump-devel >= 0.8.20 kudzu-devel >= 1.1.52 pciutils-devel bzip2-devel e2fsprogs-devel python-devel gtk2-devel rpm-python >= 4.2-0.61 newt-devel rpm-devel gettext >= 0.11 rhpl booty libxml2-python zlib-devel bogl-devel >= 0:0.1.9-17 bogl-bterm >= 0:0.1.9-17 elfutils-devel beecrypt-devel libselinux-devel >= 1.6 xorg-x11-devel Once you have all the build requires installed you will need to build the native compents then in your anaconda source tree simply type: make This will build the various native components and extension modules. You can test your anaconda in part using: ./anaconda --test -m nfs://export/fc3t1/ where /export/fc3t1 should be replaced with a path to an install tree on the local disk (the nfs is confusing here in test mode). The full test would require building a package and install tree - or you can also test changes using an updates.img or dropping files into RHupdates. See the docs subdir for details of what applies in which install method. I'm not quite sure what you are trying to achieve, but you probably want to ensure you read the documents above quite thouroughly. Also if you explain the problem you are trying to install by building anaconda more targetted help could be provided. Paul
