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
