Hello
Regarding to my previous questions, I have added the output of genhdlist, when invoked like this:

$ genhdlist --productpath=Test --withnumbers --fileorder /opt/Test/pkgfile /opt/Test/i386-disc1

How is it possible to add ordering for this group of RPM packages? (Xfce Desktop)

I agree that having a kickstart %post is the probably the best way get things
done after all packages are installed in an automated setup, and probably
using firstboot is the way to go for non-automated installs. However, the
solution I recommended was meant to solve the problem of ensuring that all
packages from a set of related packages are installed and then doing some
post-install tasks - and most importantly, this need not necessarily be when
the *system* is installed. I don't think I said that in the clearest manner
possible ...but an example should clear it up ..

$ yum install foo
or
$ yum groupinstall "foo"

should install all 'foo' related packages and the execute something only after
the last package in the foo dependency list is installed. A meta-package 'foo'
with a complete 'Requires' section and a %post fulfills this requirement.

I think that was the Ali's original intent.

I don't know much about it but I feel the yum plugin mechanism might also help
here. Ali may want to investigate that.
