Re: kickstart vs. yum

An explanation of the four (4) different levels for packages is here, along with most of the other information, guidelines and standards for comps.xml:  
- http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_use_and_edit_comps.xml_for_package_groups

As Jason pointed out, "yum groupinfo" is a nice, easy, client-based interface into the comps.xml for any group, its packages and the levels for packages.

And like "yum grouplist -v", one can use "yum groupinfo -v" as well.  The latter will give you the Anaconda installation or YUM repo an installed packaged has come from, or the YUM repo it is available from.

P.S.  As always, one can script the output from YUM to one's taste or fetch the comps.xml directly and work on it with their preferred XML method(s).

yum groupinfo [name of group]

Keep in mind the packages listed may themselves pull down dependencies.
