Is there anything to simplify the process of duplicating the set of
installed packages when you didn't pay that much attention the first
time around?   It seems like taking the list from 'rpm -qa' on a
running machine and feeding it to 'yum install ....' on a new minimal
install should get pretty close, but then you need to find all of your
locally modified config files.  Most of that should be under
/etc/sysconfig for an easy diff, but not everything.
