This is a bit above me.
I use SME 7.3 (which is built on CentOS 4.6) as inhouse production
server, and then I have my (soon to colocate) test server, which
currently runs CentOS 5.1 64.
How would I test an rpm on an already running system?
rpm --test
and the proposed for testing dependencies: rpm --justdb --root
/tmp/tempath/ package1, package2
What I have done till now, is todo a base install, and then create
only
use the files installed (as per /installation.log) in my new CD.
There's
still quite a few programs that I don't need and could probably delete
them from the CentOS folder on the CD, but I still need to figure out
how these file are installed. I saw the repodata/comps.xml file, but
it's LONG, and have a lot of different languages, not some something I
can take on right now. It's almost easier to run something like "yum
remove {package-name} from the kickstart file
You can put "-package" at %packages
In order to have a minimal one just test with "%packages --nobase"
and begin adding packages you find missing on the target system
(ssh, joe,
etc)
Have a look at the --root trick to check all "really" required
files ;)

Ok, this project didn't work as well as I thought. So, I installed an
"empty" system, without any repositories as well.
I'm going to take a new approach, and install xen, kernel-xen
virt-manager & virsh via yum and then use that to build up my rpm
list to work with.
So, which repositories do I need on CentOS 5.1 x64 to install xen?
All of that should be in the base repos for pretty much any relatively
recent distro.
Not sure what "without any repositories means".
This isn't CentOS specific but is worth reading:

Thanx, I'll check out the post.
For some reason /etc/yum.conf is empty:
[root@gimbli ~]# more /etc/yum.conf
[main]
cachedir=/var/cache/yum
keepcache=1
debuglevel=2
logfile=/var/log/yum.log
pkgpolicy=newest
distroverpkg=redhat-release
tolerant=1
exactarch=1
obsoletes=1
gpgcheck=1

# PUT YOUR REPOS HERE OR IN separate files named file.repo
# in /etc/yum.repos.d
