Why does anaconda not showing the customized installer text using a product.img in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1?
Issue
- Attempting to create a custom installer of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.1 and have created a
product.imgas instructed in the Desktop Migration Guide - The images are successfully being over-ridden however the installer text is not.
- Switching
TTY'sand viewing theanaconda.logI see it say
22:37:21,887 INFO anaconda: MyDistro is the highest priority installclass, using it.
- However, the installer text still says
"RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX 7.1 INSTALLATION".Is this correct? It was supposed to overridde the installer text once you include acustom.pyfile. - The
custom.pythat has been places inproduct/run/install/product/pyanaconda/installclasses:

# name has underscore used for mnemonics, strip if you dont need it
# id = "rhel"
name = N_("MyDistro")
sortPriority = 30000
if not productName.startswith(("MyDistro")):
