Hello!

I am trying to modify annaconda to allow me to install the MBR on the
drive that has the /boot partition on it.  This is important because the
first drive in a fibre channel environment might be shared.

Well I was hoping you could look at this code and tell me whats wrong? 
It works when I test it in a small script like this one:

#!/usr/bin/python

import re

test1 = "/dev/hda"
test2 = "/dev/sda2"

p = re.compile( '[0-9]+$')
bootMbr = p.sub( '', test2, 1)
if test1 != bootMbr:
        print "bootMbr = ", bootMbr


All I can think of is maybe the re.py function is missing from the
annaconda install, but if thats the case why didn't it complain about
the import function?  Can I just simply copy that into the annaconda
directory?  Or better yet is there a better way to do what I am trying
to do.  I didn't see any relationship between diskSet.driveList and
bootDev.device

Any help is appreciated!!  Thanks!!
