You also want to check out the Fedora Documentation Project. Good
stuff, with some decent Anaconda docs.
About modifying the install tree. Start with a complete Red Hat/Fedora
install tree, not just a copy of all the packages. Make your
modifications...(change out kernel)...run 'genhdlist </path/to/i386>'
Anyway, lots of good suff in the FDP.

I haven't had time to look at the information yet. I know about
genhdlist, but I'm more interested in replacing the kernel that is
booted from the CD (and later installed) as well as the options for
'split-distro' to make it all fit on CD's again. I may not get a "round
tuit" until the weekend after next.
Thanks
