I just did a test build with the sample I showed you before, and I

The install did not complain, but the files were still installed. I am
surprised that the install did not abort or ask for input. In the past
when I have excluded packages from the packages list I had to add the
arch (ex: -package_name.i386) or the install would die.
I am surprised you can have something in your packages list that means
nothing does nothing and there is no complaint from anaconda at all.
The only packages where I include an entire group are for webserver and
mailserver, and then I just remove the packages I do not need from them,
like:
---snip---
Oddly though there are a bunch of packages that do not seem to be
related to the groups and are not in my list that get installed. Here
are some examples of packages that I cannot explain how or why they were
installed:
specspo (for internationalizing packages)
aspell
cracklib-dicts
xorg-x11-libs (I do not install a gui at all)
These random files are probably being installed as a dependency of
something. xorg-x11-libs could come from anything that requires (or can
use) X. Right now, however, I can't put my finger on anything that
would. I thought aspell would come with vim or mutt or something, but a
quick rpm -qR mutt doesn't appear to agree with me.
Thanks,
Phil
