Documenting the class structure in anaconda would be a Good Thing. Also better explaining how the newt widget set works would also be helpful. I already figured out how to add a keyword to kickstart.py, but others might find an explanation of that useful. (Yeah, yeah, since I figured it out, why don't I explain it? At the moment, no time available. That and some other kickstart things have been on my list of things to do for the last 2 months.) Other possible chapters for the Book of Kickstart could be (sorry if some of this is RH 7.1 specific; I haven't had time yet to convert to 7.2): * The comps file: imposing order on a list of packages * How to recompile the BOOT kernel * How to add a module to the BOOT kernel * hdstg1.img, hdstg2.img, netstg1.img, netstg2.img, and stage2: which image is used when * boot.img, initrd.img and how to modify them And, yes, many of these have been addressed on this list. But if you were going to put together a book or an FAQ, it would be useful to collect these in one place. --Seth __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
