Why not.. but it is not so difficult to customize it manually

The "4" is the version number of the type file comps...
already 4 ;-)

The Base "Bundle" is always installed, whatever you choose
The number "0" or "1" are the default choice when installing
manually (doesn't affect kickstart) with the choice custom
-> 0 the box is unselected
-> 1 the box is selected
i386/ia64/... are test for architecture
You need to define a "bundle" before using it in another
group (there's no forward like in C)

PS : The format used by the comps file in RH 8.0 will be a
little bit harder to write by hand... it is a XML file
