Really you could safely just comment out everything from "if [ -f /etc/redhat-release ];" to its corresponding "fi" and just set OS_NOT_CERTIFIED="YES" in there and bypass the rest.
here's the kicker, this is of course on the installation cd and I can't edit and run it without copying off the entire contents of the cd (since the file locations are all relative to 'install' which is of course on the root level of the cd itself.
cp -ls is your friend.
Or dd the whole CD to disk if he has the space available (likely nowadays), then mount in 'rw' as a iso9660 loopback device. Replace $user with a valid username/location.
mkdir /mnt/tmpiso/ dd if=/dev/cdrom of=/home/$user/temp.iso mount -o loop -t iso9660 /home/$user/temp.iso /mnt/tempiso
That should be writable IIRC. If not, mess about with the mount options until it is. Edit away and you should be fine.
