Modifying Anaconda install messages

Hi,
As required by the Red Hat EULA (see below), I am in the
process of removing all Red Hat trademarks.

One persistent item in Anaconda is proving difficult to
remove. I was hoping someone on this list may have an idea.

When Anaconda starts the graphical install of the OS, in the
left most Window, the following text is displayed:
Installing Packages
-----------------------------

We have gathered all the information needed to 
install Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES on the system. 
It may take a while to install everything, 
depending on how many packages need to be installed."

My question is: How do I remove the text "Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES" from the above text message. 
I've noticed the Centos guys have managed to get
"Centos" in. How?
I have searched through the Anaconda SRC RPMs and have found
the following files: anaconda-help/help/*.po
which contain:  "We have gathered all the information
needed to install &RHL; on the system. "

Somewhere &RHL is expanded to the "Red Hat
Enterprise Linux ES". 

How do I institute this change and then get it into my
distribution via "buildinstall"?

Many thanks,

Geoff

P.S. RedHat has asked us to remove all redhat trademarks due
to our intended use of the SRC RPMs in our turnkey embedded
platform.

The centos-2 way:
#/bin/bash

# Red Hat Linux Advanced Server => CentOS
# Red Hat Linux => CentOS
# Red Hat, Inc. => CentOS
# Red Hat => CentOS
# www.redhat.com => www.centos.org
# RedHat/ => CentOS/

for i in `find . -type f` ; do
    echo $i
    #file $i
    TMPFILE=`mktemp /tmp/$0.XXXXXX` || exit 1
    cat $i | sed 's/Red Hat Linux Advanced Server/CentOS/g
;
                  s/Red Hat Linux/CentOS/g ;
                  s/Red Hat, Inc./CentOS/g ;
                  s/^O0cRed Hat^O/^O0aCentOS^O/g ;
                  s/Red Hat/CentOS/g ;
                  s/www.redhat.com/www.centos.org/g ;
                  s/RedHat\//CentOS\//g' > $TMPFILE
    cp $TMPFILE $i
    rm $TMPFILE
done

Did you "grep -r" for 'Red Hat'?

Please consider using CentOS packages. It is less work for
you, and it
doesn't dilute the gene pool.
