As you may be aware, ADP Dealer Service's latest platform for Automobile and
Truck Dealerships is hosted on Linux.  We used the RedHat 7.1 distribution.

For ADP's purposes, anaconda, even with a customized kickstart file, lacked
several features, including:

* better support for serial console
* simplified messages for the user
* completely automatic partitioning on a variety of disk configurations
* support for tape restore
* an /adp partition on a logical volume.

Under the terms of the GPL, we're publishing the changes which we made to
anaconda.  See ftp://208.252.96.251/Linux/patches/anaconda-7.1 .  The file:

ftp://208.252.96.251/Linux/patches/anaconda-7.1/README-adp-1.txt

describes what we did.  The file:

ftp://208.252.96.251/Linux/patches/anaconda-7.1/anaconda-7.1-adp-1.patch.tar.bz2

is a tarball which contains the actual patches.
