The issue i am trying to resolve is creating the custom group. I can't
have kickstart install it if it does not even recognize it. Also, i
want to understand what is going on beneath scenes so i can have a
better understanding of the tools i am using, and i am sure i am using
everything properly.

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
