What problems are you having here? I think simply putting

@^workstation-product-environment

in the %packages should do it.

Also: I would suggest using the Everything Net Installer

https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/33/Everything/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-33-1.2.iso

rather than the DVD ISO because you can then install with updates from the
start rather than needing to download them all immediately after. If you're
doing a bunch of installs where that causes extra traffic, make a local
mirror or use a local caching proxy.

Sorry, I actually asked the question terribly.

I wanted to test a ks.cfg that would install the Xfce desktop and LibreOffice and also do some stuff in %post like install the RPM Fusion repo files and Google Chrome. I was testing using kvm images. I realized I could point my install media URL at one of the public mirrors of the Everything repo and then add the ins.ks=http://host/f33ks.cfg and just not even put a local installation source.

I've got it running in a KVM guest and I'll test on bare metal in a few minutes.

I'll probably rsync a public Everything mirror to my installation server so I can use a local Cobbler instance to do my installs.

Sorry for the noise.

Thomas
