This will give you a list of installed packages:
yum list installed

You should have a file, /root/anaconda-ks.cfg, that was built
when the system was installed which you can use as a starting
point to see how things should be done.
We normally use network installs starting with the minimal
network install CD. The configuration goes in the base directory
of the disk, often as ks.cfg which is specified at the boo prompt
Linux: ks=cdrom:ks.cfg
We have a few variants of this such as ksvmware.cfg to install in
VMware virtural machines which we configure a bit differently
than we do on-hardware systems.
