in the spirit of the mini doc i just posted, i'm in the process of dissecting the installation process and writing it up in excruciating detail -- from the initial syslinux-format boot floppy, to uncompressing the initrd.img image, to loading and running /linuxrc, which is a symlink to /sbin/init, the anaconda init program, etc, etc. the whole idea here is to understand the installation process to see how anaconda works, and how it can be modified to mess with things like kickstart. technically, then, this is more an installation document than a kickstart document, so i'm wondering where the best forum is for a discussion of this if others want to get involved. i don't want to take this to a major audience list like redhat or enigma, and someone there already recommended the redhat-devel list. i'm open to suggestions. is this appropriate for the kickstart list, or would interested parties like to move it over to redhat-devel? i'm happy either way. rday
