That's correct except for a few files which if present in the root of the build tree will override the ones in the rpms. These are mkimages, mkimages.i386 (or other archs) and upd-instroot. Drop these in at the same level that the RedHat directory lives. Add a 'set -x' at the top of each if you want to see alot of debug info. You really only need the architecture specific one. Find the line for NETWORKMODULES and modify to suit. If you are adding a new module, then you have to 1) place the rpm in RedHat/RPMS 2) patch the anaconda and kudzu packages so pcitable and modules-info is correct 3) replace the anaconda and kudzu packages in RedHat/RPMS with your new ones. 4) regen the pkglist file 5) run buildinstall, then mount the .img files and make sure your modules are included. 6) install :-) If you are enabling a module that is already in the pcitable/modules-info, then you just have to edit NETWORKMODULES and run buildinstall You can also do stuff like hack out the support for other languages, create other .img files, etc. Harder to learn than stuffing things in .img files, but ultimately (IMHO), much more satisfying.
