Red Hat's Anaconda Installation Package



Or if you're actually on a redhat system, change directories to 
/usr/src/redhat/SPECS, and run rpmbuild -ba anaconda.spec, and it'll build 
you an RPM.  You can change the SPEC file to add any patches you'd like to 
use.

Comes in handy if you're supporting a large number of Redhat systems.
