pkgorder when run normally will give you an ordered list of your rpm
packages - in the order that they will be installed on the system. You
can modify this file if you wish and rearrange the order of package
installation. Then you pass your modified file to the genhdlist command
and your changes will take effect next time you run your install.
buildinstall is a tricky one. You need it if you have modified anaconda
source. It rebuilds all of the .img files in the /base directory and
applies your custom changes to anaconda. You don't need to run
buildinstall if you haven't modified the anaconda source (or if you are
using the RHupdates option to make any customizations to anaconda).
I'm certainly no expert but I hope that clears some stuff up for ya!
(p.s. - are you absolutely required to add that annoying signature to
all emails?)
