anaconda/genhdlist path

For Red Hat Linux, the installation tree I've setup at work contains
the most recent RPMs, with base/hdlist and base/hdlist2 regenerated by
the anaconda stuff whenever updated or new packages are introduced.

I'm finally getting around to porting my Red Hat scripts to our local
Fedora mirror. It was easy to merge new packages into the installation
tree, but when it came time for running genhdlist, things barfed:

[debs]$ make genhdlist
+ /usr/lib/anaconda-runtime/genhdlist --withnumbers
/home/depot/mirrors/fedora/linux/core/install/1/i386
error creating file
/home/depot/mirrors/fedora/linux/core/install/1/i386/RedHat/base/hdlist:
No such file or directory
+ test 1 -eq 0
genhdlist failed

[debs]$ rpm -qa | grep anaconda
anaconda-runtime-9.2-2
anaconda-images-9.2-3
anaconda-help-9.2-1
anaconda-9.2-2

I symlinked RedHat -> Fedora in the 1/i386/ directory, and all was
well (I think, I haven't used the new images yet -- but they look and
smell correct).

Is the plan to keep using the anaconda-runtime stuff for building
installation hdlist's? If so, I suspect that some pathing needs to be
changed, or at least updated, to deal with Fedora/ directory paths.
