I did exactly that yesterday. The main annoyance is stripping off the version numbers, since there isn't a perfect algorithm for detecting where the name ends and the version number starts. I did most by stripping off -<digits> and then went through and cleaned up those that had letters or underscores in the version. Then I went back and fixed my mistakes when anaconda died because of them. I notice an odd thing -- the /root/anaconda-ks.cfg file generated by the kickstart install includes packages not specified in the ks.cfg file. Presumably those packages are part of one of the groups specified, but why anaconda separates them out in /root/anaconda-ks.cfg if they didn't need separating in ks.cfg, I don't know. Martin
