Please pardon my ignorance, but is it safe to assume that the Anaconda 
installation process and procedure as I understand it, will remain the 
same in the general throughout Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS?

I guess what I'm getting at, is you're talking about editing the 
fedoraproject.org's Wiki, but is that information going to benefit other 
guys attempting the same thing in FC, RHEL, and CentOS and a hadful of 
others?
