I guess I never fully understood what it did - I somehow had the idea it 
was involved in detection of hardware - apparently, I had that somewhat 
wrong. This, from the fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda page is what I 
remembered: "During installation, a target computer's hardware is 
identified and configured and the appropriate file systems for the 
system's architecture are created." I had an imperfect recollection of 
this role and had assumed it was something needed in the event new 
hardware was added to a system...I guess that latter assumption doesn't 
follow from the quote.
