I understand what this list is for, and if you take into consideration the smaller picture, i.e. how I'm trying to manipulate a GRUB RPM, you might see where I'm going here. However, I was under the impression at first that RPM may be the function that applies grub's configuration setup file, and that someone has been down the same road before, and might be able to shed some light on the subject. Like I said, I've tread through grub's .spec files and have not seen any suggestions as to how the RPM actually installs any configuration information, so I'm at this time assuming that it does not. I guess I was just looking for verification on this one, if someone has had this experience in the past. I'll fire off an email here to the kickstart list and see what comes back. Thanks anyway -dant
