This is sorta my point.  I've modified anaconda to do what I needed ... but honestly it's a hack 10 times over.  I'm not even sure what I did in some places. What I was hoping to find was a way to gather the docs together in such a way that intent/result of all of the features could be researched.  Most docs I was able to find are from 5.2 and I'm sure anaconda has changed... (rather I know it's changed)  Please forgive an old hardware guy but I'd sure love to see/assemble a flow chart on this.
