Bash script to global search/replace Red Hat with MyDistro

Use this small script to search/replace all instances of Fedora

#!/bin/bash
for i in <code> grep -r "Fedora" . | awk -F: '{print $1}' | grep -v "Binary file "</code>; do
sed 's/Fedora/MyDistro/g' < $i > $i.MyDistro && echo $i has changed
done

Check for all files with the .MyDistro extension (Use find -name '*.MyDistro' ) and verify that the changes are correct. There are a few instances of 'Fedora Core' too that you need to look out for. Once that is done, move the files back to the original name:

#!/bin/bash
for n in <code>find -name '*.MyDistro'</code>  ; do
mv $n $(echo $n | sed 's/\.MyDistro//')
done

You probably want to search for "RedHat" too, especially if you haven't used the other patches to anaconda.

You should also rebuild the fedora-release rpm to change the name in /etc/redhat-release (/etc/fedora-release).

Do we need to change something so grub has the correct name?
