why bother? Just use your kickstart file to install what you want.

Hello,
I am completely new to this, so this a totally newbie question. I have been
asked to create a very custom CentOS 6.4 release for internal use. I have
had no problems with creating a kickstart file and customizing it from the
options in "http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart";, and all my
%pre scripts have worked great. The only place i am stuck at is creating a a
completely a custom "core" group and other custom groups. My only attempt so
far was to create a custom group by:
yum-groups-manager --merge repodata/<*.comp.xml file> -n "customgroup"
--id=customgroup --description "Custom packages" -c yum.conf
--save=repodata/<*.comp.xml file> <package name>
(yum.conf is the repo for repo with the custom rpms) . When i added
"customgroup" to the "%packages" section, as getting errors saying that the
group can not be found.
before i run "createrepo" and try doing this all from scratch, i was hoping
to at least get a custom group working with the existing repodata.
I might have completely missed it, but i can not find any detailed
information on how the repodata and the files in there work, and how to setup
a completely custom repo on the ISO. Does anyone know where i can find
detailed documentation explaining how this works, or point me to a tutorial
on how to do what i am looking to do? I not only need to get this done, but
i also want to understand what it is doing and how it works so i can more
self-sufficient and do all of these cleanly and correctly.
thank you,
atg
