There was a recent post that described changing the install so that you could tell it to not install base and then add your own rpms instead. I was wondering....could you accomplish the same thing by modifying the comps file so that none of the entries were loaded by default? Then all you would have to do is to refer to them in the ks file. If I wanted to do this, in addition to changing the '1' to a zero, what do I do with the number at the very top of the comps file?
