<H1>The Major Anaconda HowTo for RedHat 6.2</H1>
<P>
by Scott Harrison, Michigan State University
<P>
<I>This project was done under the GPL-based auspices of 
<A HREF="http://www.lon-capa.org">www.lon-capa.org</A>.</I>
<P>
Anaconda as a concept manages the installation and upgrade software
associated with a RedHat Linux installation.  Documentation on customizing
this approach was scarce and minimal.  New releases of anaconda have been
based off of a presumed "Rawhide" developmental release of RedHat Linux.
<P>
Since I am developing this for the "Zoot" runtime release of RedHat Linux,
my  approach involved tinkering around with the source code specific
to Zoot.  8000+ lines of Python/Tk to be exact (not to mention the
index-hashing synchronization commands and other "special formulae" associated
with generating the iso9660 CD file image).
<P>
This document is meant as an informal record regarding my work.
Hopefully this allows for quicker development of installation
programs with successive releases of Linux even though the anaconda concept
is rapidly evolving in the software development community it seems.

Looking at changes/customizations to code so far.
