very nice and comprehensive TOC - good stuff.

i just thought to myself ....
what is it that most people want to do when customizing 
redhat/fedora/anaconda?

these are some things i came up with that could maybe somehow be 
incorporated into the doc ...

* creating a single cd from the 3 cd set with a cutdown version of 
packages and comps.xml and a kickstart file to automate the whole install

* remove/replace all occurences of the words redhat/fedora from the 
anaconda install process (text and graphical) with their own custom 
text, logos, etc...

* replace original redhat/fedora rpm packages with updated rpm packages 
(security updates or whatever) and reburn the cds so that they can have 
a version of RedHat 9 - six months after its release - with all security 
updates applied (and other packages updated)

* add functionality to anaconda that didn't previously exist - eg. 
adding a new filesystem support, adding support for a new NIC, etc. 
(this one is more technical and would be rather difficult to incorporate 
into a generic anaconda doc.) (infact forget about this last one for 
inclusion ...)

well they are my ideas thrown into the pile - lets go!
