There is no documentation -- or if there is it is pretty scattered.
As I recall, had to figure it out by trial and error. This is also
why I created the Makefiles in /mit/linux/devel/redhat/install -- so I
wouldn't have to remember everything :)
As for modifying the 'comps' files -- Linux-Athena uses multiple comps
files, which are shown to the user as-per the comps_list file. These
are my changes to the install program, and I admit that I am guilty as
charged for lack of documentation.
