Manual tweaks to the FC9 install CD

[Cary Maister]

Hi all,

I've currently got a Bugzilla bug (#442457) open for an issue that 
prevents me FC9 installation from even getting started - when detecting 
my system hardware, hal chokes on a slash in my hard disk's indentifier.

In any case, since the bug hasn't been fixed yet (I'm sure there are 
bigger fish to fry right now) I thought I'd take a shot at fixing it 
myself so I can kick of my installation. The bug is located in the hal 
Python scripts that are included in the stage2 squashfs image, which is 
mounted read-only when I boot up with the CD. I've search done a ton of 
searching but haven't found details on how I can modify those files and 
create a new install CD including the modifications.

Anyone have any experience with something similar?

Thanks,

Cary
