Anaconda is execute in two stages. The first stage starts the installation, and second stage performs the installation.

When installing fedora, verifying the stages is easy:

  • stage1 only contains blue text-box user interface.
  • stage2 begins from the first gui/gtk page after "Running anaconda <version>, the <product> system installer - please wait."


The first stage boots the system and performs initialization of the system. It will then load the second stage from the selected installation medium. The first stage loads anaconda, the Fedora installer. It consists of a special kernel and initrd.img. These files can be loaded by any supported bootloader. Images for alternative installation boot media can be found on the first installation disk or installation DVD. The first stage parses command line arguments and then initializes the selected mode of the Installer. If booted from an installation CD it automatically starts the second stage.


The second stage of anaconda first configures language and keyboard mapping.
