I have a patch for pkgorder here: http://rau.homedns.org/twiki/pub/Anaconda/Pkgorderpatch/pkgorder.patch The Red Hat guys included a few of the groups (found in comps.xml) first in the pkgorder order. Here I added the groups that I included in my kickstart file (or groups that I thought were likely to be installed). Add/remove your groups in that file and rebuild anaconda. That web site also includes other information about rebuilding anaconda/creating a custom distro. Forrest
