That's what I tried and this worked with other packages that I have
excluded but not for ConsoleKit. This is what my packages section looks like:
%packages
@core
@server-policy
-mlocate
-abrt*
-mdadm
-kexec-tools
-prelink
-readahead
-hal
-hal-info*
-pm-utils
-ConsoleKit*
-polkit
-libfprint
%end
I excluded "abrt" but that got dragged in again by some sub-packages so I
excluded "abrt*" instead and that works fine but even if I remove all the
packages that pull in ConsoleKit after the installation and reboot I still
see the console-kit-daemon running.
I'm not sure if I need hal. The default minimal installation of Centos 6
doesn't include it so I don't think it's really necessary.

Dennis
