We are not normally going to spend a lot of time telling someone how to 
create a competitor to CentOS ... however, there are a couple SRPMS 
packages you can look at:

1. redhat-logos
2. redhat-artwork
3. anaconda
4. specso

Almost everything that controls the themes, package descriptions, and 
distro naming are controlled there.

If you were to compare the differences between CentOS and Red Hat's 
SRPMS, you should be able to ascertain what we changed and do the same 
yourself.

Everything that has a .centos in the name that is in the base and 
updates repo has been changed by centos.  You should be able to read the 
  changelog and compare it to upstream to see what we have changed.

How to build the distro / iso after changing all RPMS is to use 
buildinstall:

(we use CentOS as the product name ... you would use something else)

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
