>From what I've learned, there are two tricks. The first one is that you
must run genhdlist, then pkgorder, then again genhdlist:
$ genhdlist $RHDIST
$ pkgorder $RHDIST i386 [list of groups to prioritize] >pkgorder.txt
$ genhdlist --fileorder pkgorder.txt $RHDIST
The second trick is that if you use buildinstall to regenerate the
installation disk images, it itself re-runs pkgorder, hence ignoring
the groups you wanted to prioritize. What I do is save a copy of
the pkgorder.txt file before running buildinstall, then copy it back.
