If you put your CDs into an An Athlon System, Anaconda will detect it, and 
install the appropriate optimized kernel.  If you put your Fedora install 
CD on you s390, the kernel that boots to start Anaconda will not run.  
That said, if you did a buildinstall using the Anaconda runtimes that 
ship with Fedora, and built a CD set using an s/390 compiled tree, the 
same anaconda should recognise and install appropriately without changes 
to the Anaconda code on s/390,or any other Red Hat supported architecture.
