questions about anaconda

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



  in my ongoing quest to de-mystify anaconda, a couple of questions:

1) i notice that the anaconda.src.rpm is responsible for building *both*
  the anaconda and anaconda-runtime rpms.  what's the fundamental
  difference between these two rpms?  i've read the comments in their
  headers and i'm still unclear on the rationale for what goes in one
  and what goes in the other.

2) in poking through the boot floppy, i've found both the "init"
  program, which calls the "loader" program, both in the /sbin
  directory on the floppy.  i've noticed that, when i build the
  anaconda src rpm, in the "loader" directory, the "init" program
  is created, but not the "loader" program.   you can easily cd
  to that directory and "make loader", but i guess i'm just curious
  why it's not compiled as part of the normal build process.

  and while i wait for enlightenment, on to poking through loader.c.
