perusing the loader code for anaconda, it became obvious that, in doing a regular local cd-rom install, the hdstg1.img is in fact not used at all -- it appears to be used only for hard drive-based installs (well, duh ... i guess that would explain the "hd"stg1 name). so, as far as i can tell, for local cd-rom installs, loader goes straight to mounting stage2.img for everything it needs. any clever people out there want to confirm this, while i wade back into the code? thanks. rday -- Robert P.
