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.
