  I am building Kickstart files. for my computers at home.

However, anaconda seems to do two different things depending on the 
Distro. Maybe its a kernel level thing too.

My machine has one internal SATA drive, and I am connecting a USB drive 
(Western Digital passport) to it.

Under CentOS 5.5 it calls the internal SATA sda and the external USB sdb
Under Fedora 13,  it calls the internal SATA sdb and the external USB sda

Of course, I want to build the USB drive to actually come up as sda; I 
will select that drive from the Boot Menu.

I have the CentOS version working Just Fine. But I am gonna have to 
change sda <=> sdb to build Fedora.

What Gives?
