Right that is kind of what I was thinking. How exactly have you modified the 
redhat installer. I already know how to add extra install options to mandrake 
so adding an option for instance of terminal server is quite trivial. On the 
other hand if you have the redhat installer doing all kinds of behind the 
scene things and mucking around with config files well I may need to work on 
that a little.
