Hello everyone!

Well i want to create my own distribution (base system
only 1 cd) based on CentOS 5.1 but i can't find what
to do to modify all the text's that say CentOS while
anaconda is installing. I fonud this script: 

http://osdir.com/ml/linux.centos.devel/2006-08/msg00
119.html

But i don't know the path where it should be
running...

Is there something like this to personalize my distro
or some other tool that can change all CentOS
label's??

I really appreciate your help.
Hope someone can help me.

Ivan.

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:

h
ttp://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/BuildInstall

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

Thanks,
Johnny Hughes
