Hi -
I used something similar. Now, I've gone one step further.
I know I whined and complained a lot about it, but i've finally got the
process of completely re-mastering the install, down perfectly.
I go as far as editing comps.xml, and adding/removing packages from
@base and @core, so I do not have to speficy any additional packages or
package groups.
I'll be publishing all of this shortly. I'll go ahead and let you all
know when it's done.
Thanks!
