The loader uses that information to go fetch the kickstart file, then processes enough of it to figure out what installation tree it needs to look at. Once it finds the installation tree, the loader downloads the second stage of the installer and the rest of the kickstart file data is processed and the installation is run. You should look in the anaconda SRPM for the loader source code as well as the rest of the installer. You may also be interested in joining the anaconda-devel mailing list. Cheers, Brent
