See function getRedHatReleaseString in /usr/lib/anaconda/partedUtils.py It's looking at the release file, and the content matters. I don't think I'm very confused at all. (it happens I was looking in the general area for other reasons). To override the contents of that, you specify "upgradeany" when booting. Now, if people go creating their own centos-release package and changing the contents of that file (as they should), then they are inviting trouble. -- Cheers John -- spambait 1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Z1aaaaaaa at coco.merseine.nu Tourist pics http://portgeographe.environmentaldisasters.cds.merseine.nu/ Please do not reply off-list
