I want to build a kickstart file.  To do that, I want to know what 
there is to kickstart in.  So I need to learn a bit about the groups 
and the apps in the groups.  All I have done so far has been to do an 
interactive install, or use an anaconda-ks.cfg file with some 
mods.  And then the anaconda-ks.cfg afterwards did not list the same packages!
