To be honest, the quick and easy fix may be to let the "Core" be visible

but not unselectable. That's where my confusion was, that "Base" meant
only what was needed to run the machine.
If Core can build off one CD image and target the least amount of
packages that is needed to boot and login, then life will be good!
Here's my initial wish list for a Core system:
Enough OS to turn on and log in via command line.
RPM
SSH/SCP/SFTP
Generic Video and Network drivers
ext2/3
Nothing installed or turned on.
