I'd like to create a list of packages that are in the core groups that we will install (the base system, X, Gnome, KDE, deve tools, scientific tools, and maybe others). And then I'd like to create a list of packages that aren't in any of those categories so our team can go through and see what additional software has to be installed. Any ideas on how to easily do that? How can I get a list of all the different groups that are on my system?
