Hi, 

First, we need to mount stage2.img and alter its contents. copy this file from the cdrom to somewhare in your computer say

      # cp /media/cdrom/CentOS/base/stage2.img /home/mydist

First, we mount the image using

    mkdir /mnt/anaconda
    mount -o loop /home/mydist/stage2.img /mnt/anaconda

Now we need to copy the contents to a directory where we can alter the files. We used tar to package the contents of the directory, and then untarred them where we could work on them.

    cd /mnt/anaconda
    tar -cvf /home/imtiyaz/stage2.tar .
    cd /home/imtiyaz
    mkdir stage2
    cd stage2
    tar -xvf /home/imtiyaz/stage2.tar


With the contents of stage2.img in an editable directory, you can now alter the images used by the installer located in usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps and the images used in the installation slideshow in usr/share/anaconda/pixmaps/rnotes. You can also edit the text in the left sidebar, which are in HTML format, in usr/share/anaconda/help/[locale].

After you've made the desired modifications, we need to compress this information back into an img file.

    cd /home/imtiyaz
    mkcramfs stage2/ stage2.img.new

Then, copy the altered stage2.img to the CentOS/base directory in your distribution.

cp /home/imtiyaz/stage2.img.new  /<path-to-your-base-dir>/stage2.img

  Cheers
  Imtiyaz
