That is because anaconda does not list every package ... only the top of
the tree for each.  That is, all the packages required to get the
install.  If it is installing yum and if sqlite is a dependency of yum,
it lists on only yum.

Also ... for hidden groups that are installed, it does not not list
those ... like @core ... but it installs them.

I think you CAN list all the packages if you want (by doing rpm -qa) ...
but make sure to only list packages that are on the DVD (that is the
ones only from the base repo ... or /CentOS/ on the DVD).

Thanks,
