That specifies which files will be installed. There are several headers (like GNOME, Printer, KDE, etc.) which you can specify that will add certain packages. The first list (Base) will be put on every system that you install. > 2. How do I tell the installer that I want my interface to be > ONBOOT="yes"? I'm not sure what it is that you want here... > 3.

After you add or remove programs (or change the comps file) you must run genhdlist on the directory, before you make the iso/burn the cd.
